appropriate high reso..

hi! i asked this before in 3dp, but i can't retrieve the page file,. ayaw na kasi mag-open..anyways, ano po b magandang resolution or in simpler terms.. "standard resolutions" for any size of paper? (commercial sizes:20x30, 30x40, A3, etc..)

ano po ba ung usual na high resolution na ginagamit madalas.. that produces details but at the same time, render times are considered.. thanks.. (",)

(i know there is a feature in max, the print size wizard? that helps calculates the resolution in terms of DPI..)

sa kin puro a3 lang naman kaya 2500 lang pag rush 1200 pwede na
base to sa 640x480 so palitan ko lang ng 2500 yung 640 automatic na nagbabago yung 480.

stills:
3000res (min)
4500res (max)

video:
2048res (max)

based on our industry requirements (archiviz)

try using "Print Size Assistant/Wizard" inside Max.. its under Render Menu.. i think 72dpi for all the sizes is enough..

nice read, dont want to hijack this but this relevant to the topic, just want to clarify between dpi "dots per inch"; is it synonymous to "pixels per inch or pixel density" ??.. im confuse about the two terms..

by the way here my resolution output, 1280 x 768 min, 1980 x 1050 max , is not our office standard, but i prefer it for hi-res to fit most of todays lcd..

great help mga masters!!!

you could also try this, it depends on what size of print media your client wants the image to be printed:

let's say:

11"x17" paper size

PPI: 240 for photoprints, you could also choose 72 ppi depends on details you want to show and would result in a lower resolution.

11"x240dpi=2640
17"x240dpi=4080

so you need to set the output size to 2640x4080
hope this helps

Along the range as tutik's

Usually it is 300 dpi max.

Max renders a default of 72 dpi.

Computation is always : paper size in inches X dots per inches

Some people ask what if I am going to print a poster? - it still is 300 dpi max
How about if I am going to print a 10 meter x 10 meter billboard? the max is still 300 dpi.

Why? because you wouldn't actually need such a density, the difference is so miniscule in the printed paper and no hiedelberg would handle that anyways..

Some stupid printshop artist would require you to output more than the 300 dpi trying to sound intelligent - you can diss him off and tell him to try rendering such a size....

Its like your vitamins - some people think that yo're doubling the merits if you take twice the dosage - unfortunately your body will handle only the required dailly allowance - anything beyond that - goes out of your body.

Same thing.

had the same experience from an advertising guy hehe...

had a crazier experience before...some ppl from client based it on the filesize. ...as long as they saw it was like in a huge Mb filesize, it was 'high-res' for them

genuine fractals galore! looks like i know who you are referring to hehe....i used to add noise (immediate boost in filesize) to the image when GF wasn't around yet. =)

i can share some more for you dude....talk about noise, when you charge per filesize instead of per minute or per whatever in an animation project, then there you go...more $$$$
