Crate measurements

At the beginning of the session all the unreal people got together again and looked at different settings in 3DS Max and Unreal. I learnt that if you go to customize- Unit setup and then select everything to be measured in centimeters which makes everything the realistic size when sent over to unreal. I also found out the average height of a human is 160 cm so if I put a box with a height of 160 cm, and  a width of of 50 cm I can measure most objects to the box so I can have a more accurate Idea of what the object looks like next to a person if it was in a game.

Now knowing this I have adjusted previously made assets to be measured in this unit.

In class I decided to make the crate that will hold the records in it. I went and researched the measurements for a fruit crate and a vinyl a vinyl cover so I would know if it would fit into the crate

The width of a vinyl cover is  about 31.43 cm. The size of a crate is 50 cm x 40 cm x 30 cm. (Length, Width, Height).

The thickness of one plank of wood is also 1 inch so 2.54 in centimeters so each plank of wood used in the crate will be this thick (except the corner joints).  Each plank will have the individual height of around 10 cm maybe a bit less so there will be spaces between the planks.
