Re: rendering for big posters
when rendering large format you need to be conscious of how your materials are setup, and which AA you are using more than anything else. simply going from 2500x1500 to 5000x3000 is 4 times the amount of pixels, and the image will take 4 times as long to render. i am doing a series of images right now that are 5000 wide. both the floor and ceiling are have low numbers for the glossiness. i am looking at roughly 32 hours for each image. this is using a 64bit dual-quadcore machine with 8 gig of ram. i could have used interpolation to speed up my times, but i didn't want to sacrifice the quality of the images. these are poster size prints, that will be viewed close and far.
