Feeling the Need for Gigantic Gnomes? A Guide to Resizing in Fortnite Creative (PC)
Ever dropped onto your Fortnite Creative island and realized your meticulously planned villain lair looks like a dollhouse for ants? Or maybe your lovingly recreated neighbourhood park is more suited for squirrels than soccer games? Fear not, fellow island architects! Today, we delve into the glorious world of resizing objects in Fortnite Creative (PC), a skill that will turn you from frustrated miniaturist to Michelangelo in minutes (well, maybe not Michelangelo, but you'll get the idea).
But First, Why Resize?
There are a million and one reasons to liberate your objects from their preordained sizes. Perhaps you yearn for a monumental banana to dominate the landscape. Maybe you want a microscopic prison for misbehaving characters. Or perhaps, like me, you simply have a strange fascination with oversized mushrooms. Whatever your creative vision, resizing is your key to unleashing it.
Hold Your Horses (or Unicorns, Whatever) - Not Everything Resizes
Now, before you go on a rampage with the resize button, a word of caution. Some objects, like those pesky walls and floors, are grid-locked and refuse to budge. Focus your efforts on props, buildings, and scenery - they're the ones eager to play dress-up with their size.
The Magical Right Click - Your Gateway to Giganticism (or Miniature Marvels)
Alright, enough chit-chat. Here's the real magic:
- Pick your victim (object, I mean): Select the object you want to resize with your trusty mouse.
- The Right Stuff: This is where things get interesting. Hold down that right mouse button. Suddenly, a whole new world of manipulation opens up! Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy, some consoles offer a similar resize function, but consult your controller's manual for the specifics.
Behold! The Resize Gods Have Arrived
With the right mouse button held hostage, you'll see arrows appear around your chosen object. These are your resize highways!
- Drag those arrows: Moving the arrows outwards increases the size of your object, while dragging them inwards shrinks it down.
- Gettin' Specific with the Tab Key: Feeling a bit boxy with your resize? Tap the Tab key to switch between resizing the width, height, or depth of your object. It's like having your own personal object reshaping gym!
Remember: There are limits to this power. You can only enlarge objects to a certain point (no planet-sized teddy bears, sorry!), and shrinking them too much might send them into the void (don't worry, it's a Fortnite void, not an existential one).
Putting it All Together: From Tiny Dancer to Titanic Turtle
Now that you're armed with the knowledge of resizing, go forth and create! Here are some (slightly ridiculous) ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- Build a world for ants, complete with miniature houses, furniture, and vehicles.
- Stage an epic battle between a giant teddy bear and a miniature mech!
- Create a museum of everyday objects, all blown up to comical proportions.
The possibilities are truly endless, as limited only by your imagination (and maybe your computer's processing power when dealing with truly enormous objects). So, resize with reckless abandon, and don't forget to share your monumental or minuscule creations with the world!
