if I wish to print a image this big what settings do i use to render the image? I have printed a 840x630 this size and it looks ok to me but I would like to see it done in the right way. The place I got it done cost $15 on a poster paper.
I was not thinking at the time I going to ask for photo type paper just to see what what [plus they saw I did not have much money so i think that why they put it on the poster paper]

For something that size you need to render at 200 to 300 DPI. An excellent place over the uk to is photobox (see link). As you upload you image they have a sensor telling you if the image quality is Ok for printing. A 72 DPI image was rated at 3, while a 150 DPI was rated 7 out of 10. Best of all you can store ur images there. For free. ;>

I do not know how to render at 300dpi it just keep on render at 72 so I make the image very big

here is the main link. I think if it can work on photos then it can work on any image. plus it may save you a lot of time on re readering those image. They take so long to render. just check it out you may like it plus you can check out the demo whichh is free.

render to disc at 300 dpi at the size you want.. may take you long depends on image.. save on cd..give to printer..I do that all the time...

so donot click on the big botton go to files and render to disk. I never did that thought it was the same i try it tomorrow. It getting late for now here but I downloading a file . here is the link for unjpeg. this is what it do UnJPEG is a perfect solution for design studios/publishing houses, designed to professionally recover images damaged by the JPEG compression. This effective product performs JPEG artifact and blotchy-look removal, median noise reduction, smooth image resizing, contrast and crispness control, as well as gives clarity and a real-life effect to pictures taken with digital cameras. I just copy it from the page it was on may help when you going to upload a image to renderosity

The standard for prinitng is 300dpi. 18"x24" at 300 dpi equals out to 5400 x 7200 pixels. Just click on the following to set up a "render to disk" in Bryce. I assumed your render is 18" in width and 24" in height, if the opposite, just switch the numbers. I suggest saving as a .bmp, .psd, or a .tif as these are uncompressed formats, and you can have much more control over any jpg compression later on, after rendering. AgentSmith

You can render it at 72 dpi as well. All tha matters is teh amount of pixels. 18" x 24" = 5400 pixels x 7200 pixels. As long as your dpi times the dimensions equals 5400x7200 you'll get 300 dpi for a 18" image. A good rule of thumb for print is that you need 1.5-2 pixels per line of screen of the printer. A printer that does a 150 lpi would need 300 dpi. A 133 lpi screen would need at least 266 dpi for example.

Good thing AS posted that screenshot. It looks like Bryce can render it as a TIFF, which is preferred by most companies.

I just render one today it take 6and 1/2 hours but I think I mess up here. I loaded the obj file tooand it reander every thing. then I took a photo and render it to a 18x24 and it was under a minture. both was at 300dpi Now I was thinking . Do bcyre use the same at photoshop to get the 300dpi or do it use fractals to fill in the space to make up for the missing px. here is the imformation on it lol my other links is not too helpful sorry [must have copy the wrong one][THIS LINK MAY JUST BE A SELLING ONE LOL] I a little mix up here so many things going on and I trying to learn how to make images bigger. that is what i UNDERSTAND Genuine Fractals DO IT MAKES FRACTALS OF PX. NEXT TO THE ONES THAT IS THERE ALREADY. Is this how bryce do it too????

oh for the printing I find some shops here in town that can print them. The first one I went too I was very disapointing as the printing looked bad. Then I came across this art teacher at the local collage and he told me to try this other place. It was much better. I know I off subjust here but they can scan very large paintings . Now that blows me away.

"Genuine Fractals" Do NOT be confused by this program. It has NOTHING to do with computer generated fractals. It is a glorified and imho, a VERY overated and expensive way to just re-size a meduim sized image into a large sized image. Which in NO WAY is anywhere as good as just rendering what size you need to in the first place. [That is my very biased opinion on that program, after having used it] My suggestion is, you completely ignore that program. Render your picture out to 5400 x 7200 pixels, and have a sharper, cleaner picture with FAR more definition. And, no, you cannot take a small render, bring it into Bryce on a 2d face, render it it giagantic, and have it look any better than it would if you just resized the image yourself. 5400 x 7200 pixels, render it. TRUST ME, lol. AgentSmith

thanks I was just wondering. I know you thinking in bryce yes you right for the bryce images. I was thinking of photos from a camera. You can just open the photo into bryce then you can resize the photo but LSD say all that is just useing bryce filters and it antialiasing. that all. here the link to that thead
