Quote - The only thing about sizing the textures based on online gallery image is that I think there's a fair number of people that render things at a lot higher resolution.
For example, when I render things, I almost always render with print resolution in mind (so I can print a nice crisp 8x10) - then resize the original and save a duplicate for online galleries.

That is why I thought a good benchmark would be the largest render anyone has ever done. I don't know what that might be... 4000 long side? 6000 long side.

I don't know much about resolution... what is good for an 8x10? 2400x3000? I have always wonder what print size I could get fro my camera that shoots 1200x1600... a 4x5?

Not to be contrary but on an other note, I think I have seen that images loose quality when downsized also. I just do renders at a couple sizes sometime.

But back to the point... say a large render is 4000x6000 would a sensible max texture be twice that, half that, or something else?
