Infini-D...Resolution quest

What resolution doyou think is the best when you render the ships for EV/O in Infini-D (yes, I know it's gonna be 72 ppi in the plug-in).

------------------

Um. I render at 72 ppi, since that's what it's gonna be anyway. Actually, ppi doesn't mean much for this, since it's just a setting that tells your printer how many pixels to fit in an inch. A 100 ppi 1"x1" image is the same as a 50 ppi 2"x2" image.

As a side note, I usually render at 4x without antialiasing, and shrink down with a graphics program. It produces far better results than rendering with infini-d's own antialiaser.

------------------

Well, the higher the resolution you render them at the better they look when you shrink them.

Thanks for the antialiasing idea. Never tried this one before. In fact Infini-D`s antialiasing sucks. As for the ppi I think if you render the same size sprite at 72ppi and then, say, 300 ppi the differences in quality are quite visible.

Slav, on-screen there's no difference between two images with the same pixel count (say, 300 pixels by 300 pixels) but different PPIs. In print, however, a higher PPI means more detail, if the inch-dimensions are the same.

For example:
on screen, a 1 inch by 1 inch 100 ppi image would be the same as a 2 inch by 2 inch 50 ppi image, if viewed at 100%.

on print, a 5 inch by 5 inch 72 ppi image would look ugly, but a 5 inch by 5 inch 300 ppi image would be nice and smooth and crisp. On screen, though, zoomed in to 100%, they'd look so much different in size the 300 ppi image would be far too large to use in, say, EV.

Make sense?

Right on , brother. You know I actually do this for living. I mean DTP. What an idiotic question. I must have been to much preocupied with getting best quality on paper for a long time. Especially my new job and people whom I meat there messes my brains a lot, for them work properly at night when I usually post messeges here. Thanks for a little fix.
