How do you increase the resolution, is it by the region division width and height?

Thanks

you mean the output size ?
You can choose Override Rhino and enter your resolution there...

Hi Jean-Paul,
I know you can over ride the rhino out put size but does the region division have any affect on the resolution if you change its width and height. i.e. do you have to change region division size when you change output size? I am trying to achieve a sharper look with more detail.

Thanks

you are talking about antialiasing ? or it can be mesh settings.
can you show what you have right now ?
In IMAGE SAMPLER you have your antialiasing filter.

If it's the mesh the problem, you can fine tune your mesh setting before rendering in rhino option itself.

region division is just the size of the bucket. what each chunk is made of. It doesn't affect the solution, just the speed depending of how your scene looks like.

Antialiasing:
Is on area size is 1.5

Hi Mark, do some test,
but I know that you can shift it to catmull instead of area (that you could have decrease first at 1 instead of 1.5). it is more precise but takes much longer.
You can use a treshold like 0.001 if you want. have a max rate to 8 or even bigger if you see a change...

the more effect is the antialiasing. you can also crank the resolution higher and reduce the final picture size or have a more DPI if it's for printing.

an inkjet printer around 300dpi, a laser around 150dpi is enough.
depending of your output print size...you have to do the math.

exemple: 8"x5" = 2400 x 1500 pixels at 300 dpi. you'll get a very high definition ! Also a cheap way is make it with area and 1.0 and use a photoshop sharpen filter post process... not my cup of tea, but if this is what you want.

but send us a picture of this project to see if I answer it well.

Hi Jean-Paul,
I am going to try out your suggestions and see how things go; I will do them one at a time to see the effect each change has on the render.
The project is a bedroom which has a sliding wardrobe door system on one wall and sliding doors on to a veranda on the other wall.

The sliding wardrobe system is the main focus. I am going to show this with and with out doors, its very much work in progress with only the wardrobe system complete, still to add bed, flooring and other furniture but will post the initial render up later to let you see what I am doing.

What I want to achieve is very natural lighting and to keep the main focus of the sliding wardrobes sharp.
I agree that using the sharpening in photo shop is not my cup of tea either.

Thanks
Mark
