Scale Doctor

Prevent unit & scale errors before they break your pipeline

Scale Doctor is a Blender utility that detects and fixes unit and scale issues before they cause broken exports, animation bugs, or physics problems.

Most scale issues don’t fail loudly.
They show up later — in Unreal, Unity, physics sims, or retargeted animations — after hours of work are already sunk.

Scale Doctor exists to catch those problems early.

Why this tool exists

If you’ve ever asked:

• “Why does this asset feel wrong in-engine?”
• “Why is physics exploding?”
• “Why does retargeting suddenly break?”
• “Why is this asset 100× bigger/smaller after export?”

…it was probably a scale or unit issue.

Blender lets these problems slip through silently.
Scale Doctor makes them visible.

What Scale Doctor does

• Scans your scene for unit and scale inconsistencies
• Highlights objects with unapplied or problematic transforms
• Helps normalize scale across assets before export
• Prevents downstream issues in game engines and pipelines

This is not a beginner tutorial tool.
It’s a production safety check.

Typical use cases

• Preparing assets for Unreal or Unity
• Preventing physics and collision issues
• Fixing animation retargeting problems
• Cleaning up shared asset libraries
• Catching scale drift in long-running projects

If assets move between tools, teams, or projects — this matters.

What this is NOT

• Not a modeling tool
• Not a replacement for good pipeline discipline
• Not magic automation

It’s a diagnostic + correction utility designed to save time and prevent invisible bugs.

How it fits into a workflow

Most users run Scale Doctor:

• Before export
• Before handing assets to animation
• Before committing assets to a shared library

It takes seconds and can save hours.

Who this is for

• Game artists exporting to Unreal / Unity
• Animators dealing with retargeting or physics issues
• Technical artists managing pipelines
• Solo developers tired of scale-related surprises

Who this is not for

• Absolute beginners learning Blender basics
• Artists who never export assets
• One-off render-only workflows
