72" x 430" render

[Streetwise]

I'm going to begin working on a wall mural render for a client that will be 72 x 430 (183cm x 1092cm). It needs to be at 100dpi and ends up being 7200px X 43000px at the final size. Does anyone have any experience with such large output? The workflow I'm thinking about is to output as 6 7200x7200 squares and assemble them in post, but want to hear thoughts on best way to proceed. For now, it was going to be to set up for square output, and then just move the camera and target 6 times (or 6 different cameras). If I do that, I'd like to be able to show the client low res renders as a single pass with one camera, but don't know how to make a single camera match 6, and have the same perspective if that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Photozoom Pro 7 might be an option

It does not need to be 100dpi. How far away from this wall will people be viewing the image?

38dpi will look sharp to someone 5ft away from the image. someone 5ft away from a 30ft tall image is just standing there and not really able to view it properly, you should not cater towards them.

secondly - use a physical camera and the perspective shift. moving the camera and target will give you 6 images that dont have a hope in hell of lining up.

I also doubt 100ppi is required.

But to answer your question you can probably just render it in regions/crop or you can use something like the overscan script. http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/overscan

The printer said that 80dpi would be acceptable, but that they preferred 100dpi. It's to be used in a trade show setting (NEOCON in Chicago) where viewing would most likely be from 8-10' away. I hadn't thought about region renders and will definitely look into the Overscan script! Seems like a way better solution than multiple cameras. Thanks everyone for your input!

I just worked with a printer to print a 25 foot by 12 foot print for a construction site sign. The rendering we sent to the printer was 3,500 pixels in the widest dimension. It printed just fine. I think they ended up printing at 15 dpi.

Also, this is a great image that was posted on here a while back. I had to translate into English, so the wording may not be the best but you get the idea.
