Not Drawn to Scale: Difference between revisions

* The interior of Starbug on ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' gradually gets larger throughout the series, with more rooms appearing between series five and six, and a even more major change in series seven, even though the crew were supposedly trapped on the same ship the whole time. This is [[Hand Wave|handwaved]] by Kryten as a 'dimensional anomaly'. In [[Reality Subtext|reality]] the show got a bigger budget and could have more lavish sets. Of course some fans complained that this rather spoiled the claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in space aboard a tiny junker of a spaceship trying to find the lost mothership.

* The ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' movie ''The Plan'' does this to the Cylon baseships. At one point there is a fleet of them surrounding Caprica, and the camera is moving through space, causing both the ships ''and the planet itself'' to change appearance due to parallax. It basically makes the basestars look like they're a few hundred kilometers across. The shifting camera even causes one of the baseships to rise from over the planet's limb (meaning it was on the other side of the planet), and it's shape can still be discerned. In fact, by comparing the size of the baseship to a raider, and then a raider to a person, a Colonial human must be somewhere around the size of a ''football field''.

 

 

* ''[[Freelancer]]'': When flying in space, full-size planets are no larger than a few hundred meters in diameter.

* Don't ever try to reconcile the sizes of the vehicles, your character's size, the sizes of the buildings, and the sizes of the evacuees that emerge from the buildings in [[Blast Corps]]. It will only end in headaches and tears.

** Precisely once has ''SRW'' used non-SD sprites, that being the oft-maligned ''Shin Super Robot Wars''/''Super Robot Wars Neo''. The sprites were still [[Not Drawn to Scale]].

** Emphasized in ''SRW'' spinoff ''[[Another Centurys Episode]]'', which uses full-sized machines and gladly points it out, as in official screenshots where [[Aura Battler Dunbine|Dunbine]] is shown to be as big as the [[Chars Counterattack|Alpha Azieru's]] head.
