Please pardon the novice question. Is there a limit to the size of an
image POVRay can render. I'm rendering an image of a chemical structure
for an exhibit booth. The image needs to be about 72 cm square.
Thanks,
rik

Only limited by computer memory I believe. What you are going to really have to
consider
is that printout. Over 2 foot square eh? Going to take the image into a printshop on
diskette? You'll probably want a resolution in the 5000 by 5000 pixels range, easily
plausible. Maybe someone has done this, not me, and they would know better
instructions.

Corridon posted the Faq in c.g.r.r. a few times. You might find a copy
of it still at the deja news archives. If you find it send me a copy
and I will post it in the faq group.

There is a limit on image size, but it is measured in the number of
pixels in the image, not the size of a printed copy in centimeters. In
other words, depending on what resolution you desire, it is possible
in theory to make a print in whatever size you desire.
I think that the maximum image size is possibly 64k x 64k pixels. This
gives more than enough potential resolution to handle your 72cm print
size. If you want to know exactly what size (measured in pixels) to
make your image for an excellent 72cm print, you can either consult
the printing FAQ mentioned by the others here, or you can visit these
links for some additional information:
http://www.imagers.com/
http://www.imagers.com/deviceguides.html
This is a commercial service bureau that has several pages of useful
information on their website regarding how to pick appropriate
resolutions, balance color, etc for digital images.
Lastly, if I understand it correctly, the maximum size of the image in
pixels is determined by the file format you save the image in, such as
Targa or PNG. Some formats might have larger sizes available than
others, I suppose.

Glen Berry

Good things to know, I like to print out my images as I'm sure others do. Thanks Glen

Some time ago I was going to render an image at 1024x768 over night. I
started it, and expected it to be finished by morning (It only took a few
minutes at 640x480).
However, next morning it wasn't finished, and my harddrive was full. I had
run the commandline:
[d:\povray\scenes]povray +itest.pov +w1024 +h7688 +a
I'm guessing it wouldn't been a problem if the partition hadn't run out of
space.
Try rendering the scene with Quality set to one first.
