72dpi is the max ?? or is there a feature to adjust the dpi too? We print these renders sometimes at 24x36 for community and public viewings. I am sure 72 will not suffice.
Image resolution / DPI

For that size printed image at 150 DPI (most common for that size) you would need to render 3600 x 5400 pixels

Thanks !

Hi nvangamudi,
we currently don't have a separate option for dpi, so you have to determine and define the needed resolution for your size.
Resolution = Inch*DPI x Inch*DPI
In your case 24*150 x 36*150 = 3600 x 5400 as Solo has written before.
But I think we can optimize that, so I've forwarded this topic to our developers as a feature request.

Hello guys, any update in this topic for resolution?

Hey arqcova , no update regarding the ability to define a DPI value as output resolution - I'll gladly add your voice in form of another upvote to the topic on our agenda.

Seems like this should be something that was figured out a while ago...

Thanks. At the moment, you will have to convert the numbers accordingly. But, your upvote has been forwarded.

DPI is completely meaningless.
If you/your client etc are going to professionally print an image 6" across and they are asking for it at 300dpi then simply multiply 6x300 (it's 1800px by the way)
I did a quick google for 'dpi is meaningless' and got pages of results, here's the 1st that came up https://shootmyart.com/dpi-myths/
99% of my stuff is for brochures and I render at 4000x3000 png, occasionally I'll do an 8000x6000 for billboards etc, I then batch convert then to 100% jpg and let my colleagues do the CMYK conversions as they know what they require for that particular job.

Hi guys, I'm writing kindly to ask to rise the dpi settings from 72 to 300, anybody knows it's a standard for pictures most of all if you need to print it big.
I found this as a big limitation and some costumers rejected my work with your plug-in because cant reach this standard.
If you admit an ironic end of the post, I guess the montly fee isn't the only thing you can rise, (recently changed form 40 to 60€, 50% increment).
Best regards -

Hi, I aprpeciated your post because it try to go deeper, I tryed to analyze the image of the example, you can also download it in the website you linked, sorry to say the image look the same because the dpi are the same.
between the two there's no 300dpi image, even the second image the post describe 300dpi have, at the end 72 dpi. (See the img attached).
If density of information in a fixed area is required by my customer and they pay for it, it's not meaningless simply because it means money, and I need to fix this 72dpi problem or I'll lose some works because costumers ask 300dpi.
I understand I can render a bigger image and then scale it in Ps, but how much bigger it has to be to reach the real standard of 300dpi? what's the matematic rule?
Second, and not less important, I think that for a program that pretend to be smart and quick put me in the situation to calculate each time I have a different area how biggger I need to render the image to have the same amount of pixel isnt that quick and imemdiate.
I kindly ask a dpi options
Thanks

4,1666666 should be the factor, wich you have to multiply the size of the render to have real 300dpi image then scaled

multiply the scale of the image means create new problems, a reason more to ask politely a dpi settings between the freatures, bigger area dosen't fix the problem
at the right a 8000x4000pixel image
