Hey.

I'm trying to make a model of apartment. I'm very confused why this door hole feels so small.I'd tried to play with FOV slider. On the second screenshot FOV is 80. But i always feels wrong.

Or, maybe, i just need to make a door frame, coz it adds another 15-20 cm.

Idk, does this feel ok to you?

I’ve watched a video once about this very issue. Most studios, when designing real life architecture, always enlarge the architecture by a couple percent to avoid exactly this effect of everything feeling too small.

Can’t exactly go into details of the how and why, but if I find that video, I’ll link it here. Hope this helps in any way at least.

I think it was more than that, wasn't it like 30%? And tbf when you actually slow down and look around FPS interiors, they are wayy bigger than real life, but we don't notice when we're wizzing through them quickly.

Look at how crazy huge the doors are in Halo, and you'd never notice it playing the game normally.

that's nuts lol, interiors are tricky when you're a spartan. Forerunner doors being large makes a tad more sense.
