Easily calculate how many pixels you need for a good print

For magazines, posters and newspapers, you need this width in pixels: Formula-English.png For road billboards, you need this width in pixels: Formula-Billboards.png And that's it.

Re: the flight

Re: Any Twilight engine update? (following the KT engine?)

Where have I been? I have just found this thread and the one in the KT forum.

New "best bang for the buck" CPU for rendering

Looks like, right now, the best performance/price ratio is with the "Sandy Bridge" Core i7 2600(K): http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the-sandy-bridge-review-intel-core-i7-2600k-i5-2500k-core-i3-2100-tested/17 http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/desktop-cpu-charts-2010/Image-Rendering-3DS-...

Re: LED façade lighting

In Kerkythea, there's even negative light. :shock: I haven't seen that in nature.

the name "black light" normally refers to UV lights used to illuminate fluorescent pigments.

Re: Resume / distribute an interior progressive rendering

Any tiny change should work to change the "random seed" used to render. Even changing the RGB color of a material from 180,63,54 to 180,63,53. BTW, you can also use the pause button in Twilight. Pause, save, send that noisy image to your impatient client, and then click the pause button ag...
