Material/Render Settings for canvas size

[Per-Anders]

When rendering at larger resolution you have to deal with the consequences that models and textures require substantially more detail themselves (unless you're into the ultra clean CG look). It's much easier to get away with less detail at lower resolutions, but what makes an image work are the subtle variations, the roughness in fact, computers make things too perfect, unfortunately it means putting in a huge amount more work as you increase the destination size.

Perhaps if you could post a link to something in particular where you're having a problem then people could give you some more direct feedback as the terms you've used are a little bit on the diffuse side.

I see. thanks for your input but I don't think the model is really the problem since I've even tried the same materials in plain spheres..
True, diffuse and careful layering gives a much better look in big dimensions but still not what I see in the Editor Render View.

I wonder if Bodypaint has anything to do with this? Should I paint my models using this instead of materials? Thanks again!

hi
when you have a big resolution and you want a good quality, try to use procedural textures, they are calculated with maths, so you'll not get horrible pixels :thumbsup:
