Renders for print ?

#1

How do you render big size pictures in animation master ?
What’s the biggest size you can render ?

#2

Press the render to disk button, then type in your custom width and height numbers, or choose one of the larger presets, under the image properties. It’s best to put your desired image size/aspect ratio into the camera properties beforehand, so you can check how it fits your scene. I don’t know about the latest versions, but AM used to get VERY memory huingry with large images, just make sure you have lots of RAM if you’re serious about print images - I think that’s the only limiting factor.

Good Luck.

I usually do comic book sized work, and yes, AM needs lotsa RAM to render big.

For my comic work, I have an old Eggslice Chor (I wish it worked directly with v10) with the camera rotation method of slice to render big. My usual size is 7 slices @ 2100 X 525 to end up 2100 X 3150. It’s very nice.

I have 512MB of RAM and had no problems so far with RAM using Eggslice.

Eggslice chor ? i don’t get it, how does it work ?

how big can you render without eggslice ?

eggslice is a plugin that automates cutting up a scene into several smaller chunks to render a single high res image.

Another option is to cheat, render the image as large as you can while keeping the render time reasonable and oversample it with irfanview’s Lanczos filter, the results aren’t all that bad.
