Hi ! DPI - or dot per inches - is only an information for printing machines. It has absolutely no effect on your CPU or Memory, neither on how the picture will appear on screen. The picture pixel's dimension remains the same. If you render a 800x600 pixel image at 10 DPI or 2000 DPI, the rendering time and the file size will be exactly the same ! To get 3D renders ready for print the only relevant settings in your 3D software is the picture resolution (in pixels). Take for example a CD cover : the printed size is 4.73 x 4.73 inches. If want to print it at the industry standard format 300 DPI, you should use a rendering resolution of 1419 x 1419 pixels. And if you want 400 DPI, render it at 1892 x 1892 pixels. It's easy to know the resolution needed for a printed image. Multiply the size of the printed images (in inches) by the DPI required. The result will be the resolution in pixels. You won't get higher or "better" DPI in MAX, VUE or LIGHTWAVE !!! Set it to whatever you want in POSER and adjust the resolution (in pixels). A powerful processor can render a high resolution picture faster, and the amount of RAM tells you how far you can go. With 512 MB of RAM you can go up to a resolution of 9000 x 9000 pixels. But not much further, otherwise your PC will tell you : "not enough memory" ! :) Eric
