I'm wanting to render out the character I made to a large size (10300x5300) My computer dies at 4000x3000 odds and I hear the way to render out large pics is by using render tiles and putting them back together in Photoshop.

I've spent the last hour look through various forums on a step-by-step way of doing this but with no results:rolleyes: I've come across points like "try using the -tw -th flags with a value of 64-256 each this will help render larger format images" and putting it in the "command-line to render " but im totally lost.

Can anyone post how to step-by-step render out an image in render tiles? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Darran

You should try a bunch of commands like

render -x 10300 -y 5300 -xl 0 -xr 2574 -yl 0 -yh 2650 -im bottom_0 -of bmp file.mb

render -x 10300 -y 5300 -xl 2575 -xr 5150 -yl 0 -yh 2650 -im bottom_1 -of bmp file.mb

render -x 10300 -y 5300 -xl 5151 -xr 7725 -yl 0 -yh 2650 -im bottom_2 -of bmp file.mb

render -x 10300 -y 5300 -xl 7726 -xr 10300 -yl 0 -yh 2650 -im bottom_3 -of bmp file.mb


render -x 10300 -y 5300 -xl 0 -xr 2574 -yl 2651 -yh 5300 -im top_0 -of bmp file.mb

render -x 10300 -y 5300 -xl 2575 -xr 5150 -yl 2651 -yh 5300 -im top_1 -of bmp file.mb

render -x 10300 -y 5300 -xl 5151 -xr 7725 -yl 2651 -yh 5300 -im top_2 -of bmp file.mb

render -x 10300 -y 5300 -xl 7726 -xr 10300 -yl 2651 -yh 5300 -im top_3 -of bmp file.mb

That will give you 8 images, 4 on the top (top_0 - top_3) 4 on the bottom (bottom_0 - bottom_3) Of course you will have to change the render flags to meet your needs, file type, AA quality, camera etc... But once its done you can piece all the parts together in photoshop.

simply create a file "name.bat" and type in the lines like pyromania explained. then run the .bat file.
