This one is going to be a FAQ....
Anyway - here's the deal: DPI only matters to
anyone when you actually print an image. "DPI" means "Dots per Inch" -
there are no "inches" in a computer, only dots. And this is the key to
understanding what's happening here.
Rendering resolution is measured in pixels.
If you want to increase the resolution of a rendering, you need to increase the
"Width" and "Height" values under "Output Size" in the Brazil Renderer Settings
dialog. Naturally, rendering more pixels will take longer.
All output images are saved from Rhino/Brazil at
72DPI. This is the standard resolution of the screen display. This
means that if you take a 1024x768 image (measured in pixels) and print it at
72DPI it will come out 14.2 x 10.7 inches.
The correct place to change the DPI is in
Photoshop. In the "Image Size" dialog, uncheck "Resample Image".
Note that this grays out the pixel size edit boxes so they cannot be
changed. Now change the DPI to whatever you want and press OK. You
now have an image that is 300 DPI but the same
pixel resolution.
BTW - the version of Brazil you are using is
ancient - from mid May last year. It should already have
expired.
hi,
i´m an industrialdesign student from Germany and i try to work with Brazil
(vers. 2.0.0.14) for Rhino since serveral days. I want a higher resolution
(dpi) after rendering to go on working in Photoshop. Sadly its still 72 dpi
and dont know how i can change this. Sorry for my bad english.. Sorry for the
newb question
