I had to create a scene file to demonstrate the capabilities of a large
format full color ink-jet printer. This may be the tip for you: Create
some of your pictures at full printer resolution (300 dpi or so). If you
have a good printer the result will be much better than simply enlarging
a 1024 x 768 picture.
I created a poster from a file that came with the first POV-CDROM (POV
V1.0) but I used POV V3.0 for the rendering. The file name"big_e.pov" -
a picture of star trek ship enterprise, using POV primitives. The size
of the poster is 1 meter (3 feet ?) wide. Aspect ratio was 16:9 which
gives very professional results. The resulution was (if I remember
correctly) 6000 x 3375.
It took a Pentium Pro 200Mhz 7 days and a couple of hours to create the
file (which was 80 Mb or so). To my suprise, after converting it to JPG
it was only 2.5 MB.
Later I enhanced the drawing by adding a realistic planet in the
background and adding stars and cosmic nebulae. However I never
recreated the file on that huge scale (because I was assigned to another
project).
If you are interested I can send you the scene-file (and even the
jpg-file).
Just email me.
