how do i get the most out of printed materials

Hi,

I am new to KT but a veteran of 2D design packages.

I would like to find out how to create material/diffuse images that give the best results for printing. I know that generally the minimum resolution for a printed image is 300dpi but do the same rules apply in KT or can adjustments to the render settings improve a 72dpi bitmap?

Please use forum search feature. DPI is for print. You cannot set DPI in a renderer, just image resolution. Here a helpful tutorial to find a right resolution different kind of print works http://www.kerkythea.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7912

To calculate the potential print size from a KT resolution, the formula is resolution divided by dpi. So if your KT file is 3000x2000, and you want to print it out at 300 dpi, then your print size would be 10x6.7 inches.

Thanks - this is all useful info
