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.
