#Temp Files
>>> Wow, my computer would have a stroke with such a file. What kind of work
were you doing to produce such a monster ?
It can only be described as "virtual photography"… <BG>
I am one of those guys that uses A:M mostly for still images that will printed.
I have done files as large as 94 megs in A:M that were used for large format
displays (30"x40")… I love animation, but so far I don't know how to make
money with it. So, I render away for the purposes I know how to make money with
— packaging design, advertising, product illustration, corporate literature.
I also have been working on children's book series called "Animals of Earth2"
— my pet project for 2 years for wchich I can't seem to find enough time…
(and original reason I got Playmation, in the first place). Of course, now when
Steven Spielberg is coming with the TV series called "Earth2", I will have to
do something with the title… All those eghets, hogooghs, blick-looms and
panills will have to find new home… Maybe I will call it "Animals of Earth
Number Two"<g>. Also, I might totally change the project's direction and do
animation instead, so I can compete with S.S. — The film should be ready by
the year 2094, (if I can convince my unborn grand children to take over after
my death). <BG>
Anyway, for printing you want to have between 2 to 2.5 pixel/dot ratio. — If
your printing is 150 line screen, you might want 300 dpi resolution. For 8.5" x
11" this means 2550×3300 pixels. The 54 meg file was for 8.5" x 22" artwork…
At that resolution you car really see what A:M rendering quality really is!
