Hello,

I’m trying to understand something with the Base Eye Height in the First Person template.

I know in UE4 1 unit is equal to 1cm.

So my understand is that the default base eye height of 64 in the template the character height is 64cm? I would like to use 180cm.

Do I change the value to 180 and call it a day or is there more to it?

Hi,

If I remember correctly, the base eye height is not calculated from the ground, but from the middle of the height of the character. So if your character is 180cm, the middle would be 90cm and the height would be 90+64 = 154cm.

So to get 180cm I would need to adjust the Base eye height to 90 to get 180cm?

It should be, yes.
