Quote - Just wanted to remark on a couple of image sizes common today. HD @ 1080p is 1920x1080, while 720p is 1280x720. These are common sizes used for current TV sets. Print is, of course, a different medium altogether.
Cheers.
As you may perhaps remember the reason for me to start using DAZ studio and Reality was to merge 360x180 degree panoramas with (scanned and/or sculpted) rendered 3D content.
For this to work my renders need to match (or rather exeed) the detail resolution of those (70 Mp) panoramas. After some experimentation I found that 3840x2400 (twice my screen size) 'fits' nicely. Larger would be better, but these dimensions yielded acceptable results.
However, playing with DAZ Studio and Genesis just to see what I could do with them (now that I had them anyway) turned out to be just too much fun! Now I can't stop making renders that have almost nothing to do with what I originally intended it for : D
But even for these images I still want the resolution I am used to; it's sooo much easier to edit them, AND if needed they can be printed at a reasonable size.
So, why not?
Cheers!
