hi all,

just my humble thought on this. The initial question was: what about lage scale images? Serious printing needs 100 lpi minimum (150 normal) so in the end wejus need more pixels.

Bryce can handle images up to 4000 (x4000) in memory, so up till this size you can do a network render on a still using "tiling". No use on a one-machine network though. For bigger stuff you better stich a UPS (Uninteruptable Power Supply) between the wall plug and your machine, it will pay off.

The smart way of handling things is done in mojoWorld, where tiles of 100x100 can be rendered AND SAVED so when the sky comes down, you can pick up where you stepped out. You can even render at night and work at day. When DAZ failed to pick up this functionality, I do see a new request coming up.

Why someone needs large scale prints is not the issue. My record is 4000x6000 in 254 hours (see Got Her, in my favourites).
