resolution for a print?
Jason
were being created to be printed.
Foe example if i wanted a print of say ~ 20 by 16 inches, and from
what I'v heard the resolution of the image should be up around the
200-300 dpi, what settings would I use in Bryce to achieve this. Do
I actually have to create the image with those dimensions - ha~ :) I
can see it taking a month to render! or am I thinking to literally ??
~ you don't take a picture with a camera at the physical size you want
the print - so I guess you don't necessarily need to create a
digitalbryce one equal to the end print size? or.....
acn someone just explain this to me so I understand ~ many thanks,
stu'

dpi means "dots per inch". So if your image is 20 inches wide and should
be printed with 300dpi, you need to render it with 6000 pixels width (20
inches x 300 dots) - sqare pixel aspect, I presume.

Yes. Ha.

Maybe. Depends on your computer and the complexity of the scene... let's
say: Yes.

No.

You can print it with 72dpi. Don't think your were achieving good
results from this. If you want quality, you need to spend time and/or
money. :(
You can use an image processing program (like Photoshop) to enlarge the
size and alter the dpi value. Crutches.
