Ok, here is my question. I have seen ppl make images that you can scrole up and down (thats just how big they are). I need to know how to make an image that size. Do I do something with the document window? How do I adjust an image that is too big to fit on the screen?

In the Render:Options pull down menu, just select Render in New Window instead of document window. (I'm assuming you're in Poser 4-though I think the process is rather similar in Poser 5- hope to know for myself here pretty soon! ;) Then you can determine how large the new window's dimensions are. That help you? Steve Kondris DAZ Productions, Inc.

Errr. Well, it was interesting. That streched the pic real bad. Ok, just to be sure you know what I am doing I will explane it. I am makeing a large room, and I want to put a person in it. I want the person to be far away from the camera but I want the pic large enough to see the eyes clearly from that distance, as well as get the rest of the room in the pic.

Actually, I believe it's the resolution size. A 800x600 picture will render smaller than a 1200x1600 render. The larger renders are good for things like making prints, and such but can be easily left-clicked, copied and printed without permission from the artist. It still keeps the same POV as the work-table picture you've been working on... just bigger. Then again, I could have completely misunderstood the question and be explaining all of this to someone who probably knows more than me anyhow. :) S'alright. Least I stopped lurking, XET Stormy

no it doesn't

Yes, yes. You have to render to a new window (period). Can't be done otherwise. You want a 10000x10000 image (I think the limit is 9999x9999, but don't quote me on that), you're going to have to Render to New Window unless your monitor happens to accept settings of 16000x16000? That's only if you're Bill Gates... In Poser 4 (4.03), the render will automatically be adjusted to the proportion of your document window (so a 1024x768 doc and 768x1024 render will actually render 1365x1024). You're getting stretching? How? I'd like to see a screen cap of your regular Poser display and the "stretched image". I get 1-2-1 correspondence in my renders (in both P4 and P5).

BeatYourSoul - the max res in P4PP is 4090 x 4090. Not trying to slam you, just passing on info.

stretching can occur if you're using a background image instead of actual objects... or in P5, if you don't select "match document window" first, and make sure constrain aspect ratio is checked...then you can change the size without LOSING information...I've never seen distortion/stretching otherwise...

Thanx SamTherapy! I didn't bother to look it up, but did notice that in Poser 4, anyway, there was a limited amount of "number space" for giving the dimensions and I'd remembered hearing/reading about a limit somewhere. :) Dave-So, the same idea about background image stretching crossed my mind, but then he never mentioned background images. Good info about P5 though. Personally, I do all of my rendering in C4DXL, so don't have much experience with the render settings in P5. I'll bet you hit it right on the money!

My guess would be background. If you use a flat square instead of the background, that should fix the problem. Or you can go to run time DNA and get their backdrop tool. Tashar 59

You can bypass the 4090x4090 limit by rendering a one-frame animation at your chosen size using current render settings.

Thx, ppl, I see what must have happened now. It does work. But one more question. When I save the render as a jpg there is "squigle" lines aroung the figure. How do I stop that?

Re:Jaggies -- Antialiasing turned on in your render options?

looksgood- jpg save window comes up at 40% quality by default. Change it to 90% - or to 100%, and then recompress in Photoshop, which does a much better job of retaining quality at a given file size.
