“Maya prefers things to be in real-world scale. Unfortunately, that’s not possible with cell architecture. I don’t think the Near Clipping Plane would even come that close. So it’s up to me, really, to decide what size best suits my needs. I have many close-ups of a large environment so… really, the whole cell needs to be about the size of the Royal Albert Hall. Oh wait, Maya’s telling me that it’s 120 metres. So that’s one and a half Royal Albert Halls. I will be writing to Autodesk immediately to request that they implement the Royal Albert Hall as a unit of measurement.”
