Thank you all for the input. You helped a lot.
I'm downloading the trial of Guenine Fractal, just in case...

It is still rendering atm, so far so good. Should be done this night....

Thanks again guys :)

   <pre wrap="">Olivier, I'm a bit puzzled by your size descriptions - what
exactly is the
4x3 you mention?

11338*8525 pixels at 300 dpi translates into an image roughly 96 centimeter
wide and 72,25 cm high. This is bigger than A1 (if you operate with such
measures) and makes for a pretty big poster. Like Kim said, dependant on the
final print size and viewing situation (very important), you usually would
not need to render CG that big for print - upping the resolution in PS, a
bit of sharpen filter if you scale up a lot and set to 300 dpi will doi the
trick in most cases. Think of billboards and those huge wall sized prints on
buildings - the source material for them is not  5 x 10 meters at 300 dpi.
That would be an image at 60.000 x 120.000 pixels!!

Also check cgTileRender found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http:/
/www.chris-g.net/scripts/">http://www.chris-g.net/scripts/</a> . I haven't
had use for it yet so I can't tell if it works but if it does it would
probably help you a lot ;)

BTW - get another gig of RAM. You won't be sorry!

     <pre wrap="">Hello all,

I'm trying to render a big image for print. It's a 20x30 cm that should
be croped to 4x3 later on.

(I was asked to render it 4x3 300 dpi, but it's so large that I don't
think Photoshop would be able to open it. So I went for 4x3 72 dpi.)
At this size I have a 11338*17006 pixels image (20x30 that will be
cropped 4x3) to render (in several passes).

MR crash and says : Can not free Memory...
I was wondering if I could tweak some BSP, and if someone could give me
some basic settings to save some ram.

Right now, I'm trying to do it direct 4x3 (11338*8525), seems to work,
but I'm sure the client will bug me...

Another question will be what size (in pixels) do print-people use when
they are asked to make some 4x3 stuff ?


Thanx a lot for any info !
