Still loosely agrees with most other calculations.

@Agent Tasmania  
oh no, now we only know that they’re approximately 4’ instead of their exact measurements. e.e

This cuts off the last inch or so of Cheese’s head and doesn’t account for the slight splaying on his legs.

Three foot six? That’s up to my hip!

I WAS RIGHT! Holy shit, I don’t believe it!

Pretty much every height chart uploaded to this site that tries to use some kind of logic beyond headcanon to determine the heights of these ponies seems to spit out a height somewhere between 3’2” and 3’9”. That’s surprisingly consistent.

@GLARGH  
Pretty much. Stallions are typically come out at around four feet tall, and mares at around three feet six inches. Cheese Sandwich is probably no older than Pinkie Pie, but he seems to be a little lanky, the equivalent of a tall skinny guy like Weird Al.

@InLucidReverie  
They can account for perspective when considering movements and camera movement, but over short distances they seldom adjust for size relative to distance.

@Techy Pony  
There will always be a horizon decided in the shot design. If they didn’t account for it at all it’d look weird. The horizon line I used was a typical choice for a short shot. It would look weird with any other horizon choice, given the puppets… just look in the bottom image. The perspective is skewed there for that reason.
 
Usually it can be ignored, but in a shot like this any perspective other than following that of the puppets (most logically horizon line at focal eye-line) would be visually detrimental.

Probably because I forgot to put the ‘s’ on Mounties. Anyways, it’s an Attack on titan joke.

@Ninoyiya  
You said something in German that made no sense (according to google translate), so I replied “what” in German.

@cdge  
Coming soon, on SyFy!

@Techy Pony
 
?

@InLucidReverie  
Yeah I take that back, I should say within a short object (perspective between the front and back) or over short distance, they don’t bother with perspective.
 
Even if they did account for perspective in this case, it’s not possible to account for it without some reference in the image. If you assume there is perspective then the final measurement is actually slightly, just slightly smaller.

@Techy Pony  
They use perspective at all times, at least in some way. It’d be a cardinal sin of animation not to.
 
Don’t be daft.

@Ninoyiya  
Was?

@InLucidReverie  
They don’t use perspective 99% of the time, when they do you’ll know.

Or it’s the CheesexPie lovechild…
 

 
 
OH JEBUS.

Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Mountie!

@InLucidReverie  
Oops,

Not sure if you fuckers can actually make sense of this, but i tried taking perspective into account for the top image:  

 
red lines to the right indicate his height

@Captain L  
That wouldn’t be big enough for cuddling. When it comes down to it feet give the only reasonable heights.

@Background Pony #2DC2  
That would be very little, wouldn’t it?

@Captain L  
….ummm, so they’re 1ft 2in tall?
