Hi, I'm fairly new to this. I understand most of the code, but have not
really worked with image stuff in the past much.
My question is somewhat stupid and basic:
Lets say I render a sphere in checkered plane (ie the Noob Favorite :) ) The
sample image shows up as 160x120 as always. How would I go about making
this image wallpaper size and still have it retian its nice 3d cool
unpixaleated self?
Thanks!

Hi,
You have to edit the resolution.ini file and you will be able to add your
own resolution.

You're obviously using Windows? Try editing quickres.ini and restarting
POV-Ray. After that, you should be able to choose the resolution from
the drop-down box near top left corner.
If you're using *n?x, try povray +W1024 +H768 +Ifile.pov

This is the wrong way to do this:
On Windows, the correct way would be to use the little command-line text box
in to toolbar. For example entering "+w320 +h240" there would set the width
to 320 and the height to 240 pixels. Alternatively, there is a of course a
drop-down menu with different settings and image sizes already.
On Mac OS, (which the original poster used at least for posting), you go to
the Edit menu, select "myscene.pov Settings..." (where myscene.pov is the
name of the scene file, and as such is different). Go to the "Output" pane
and either select a predefined "Image Size" of enter your own values for
"Width" and "Height".
On Linux, using the command-line, entering "+w320 +h240" will change the
resolution.

And I wonder why it always seems the most common answer.
Editing an .ini file in order to render a scene at different resolutions
is probably the most laborious and troublesome way of doing that. There are
much easier and faster ways of doing it, yet seldom people suggest them.
What gives?

Maybe because editing the .ini -file makes the modifications staying
easily available via the drop-down box. Back in time, when I used
POV-Ray for Windows, I modified the .ini -file and got quick and easy
access to most of ever-wanted settings.
Would that be the reason?

Probably. Then again, the question seemed to be how to change the size in
general, not to make "custom" sizes (after all, he was stuck with the
smallest preview size 160x120). For me, that clearly shows that the problem
is along the lines of "new user doesn't know how to use POV-Ray and asks",
not "user knows his way around and wants to customize a certain aspect".
Hence, the answer should be: "+w800 +h600" via command shell, or use the
proper Quickres-Dropdown on the Windows GUI (don't know about Mac, that's
where Thorsten came in handy), not "edit quickres.ini". Seemed to me the new
user doesn't even know about "quickres.ini".
All of the above isn't to say that the new user is stupid for not knowing,
new users generally don't know, and they are allowed and supposed to ask (in
my oppinion). That's what I do when I encounter something I don't know. :-)

Tim

Hmm, yes true. I didn't even remember that 160x120 is the smallest
preview size, but I did remember that last time I used POV for Win even
the biggest size was too small to my screen.

Absolutely true. This is why the new user should tell us what answer was
that what actually helped him, so we could predict before the next asker :).
