Re: Just how big is that Ark??

In Response To: Just how big is that Ark?? (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: Feedback is welcome
: if you feel the estimate is off. Enjoy! (Thanks again Zach!)

: Ark - Halo - Earth: Scale Comparison:

There's no baseline for comparison here though, is there?

That's a perspective image, with no indication of how far away, or apart, those items are. You have the Earth's Diameter, and so you can triangulate it's distance from the camera, but there's nothing to tie it to the distance from the Ark is there?

Sort of like Halo 2 images where the masterchief was falling out the ship while holding onto the Bomb... Knowing the size of the MC was useless in getting a scale of anything else there until you knew how far away he was from it, and how far he was from the camera's perspective.. in visual scale, he was much larger than the ship he was approaching.

Or am I missing something here?
