- I have a question about RenderMan (specifically prman, which I would guess
- will be answered by MJ-hi Michael-but I'm posting it since I thought there
- might be general interest.)
-
- How can you get high resolution images out of the NeXT? That is,
- images that are photo quality (and saved on slides or film, or
- Kodak Photo CD to touch on another thread.) Are there bureaus that
- do this as a service? Should the image be converted to PS first?
-
- This may actually be a moot point: My second question--How much
- (disk) space is required to do a high resolution image (say,
- 1000 to 2000 dpi range)? (BTW-what is the resolution of the images
- in the RenderMan Companion?) I have yet to render even a simple
- scene at 400 dpi without running out of swap space (I have a single
- 330M disk with about 50M free for swapping). Any tricks (like tiling)
- to help do this? Maybe I should run off my OD and simply use the
- HD for swapping!-)
