QCrystal rendering size limitations?

vade's picture

Hello

I am looking to generate high resolution print quality images from some QC comps of mine. Are there upper limits to what QCrystal can render out to? Im pretty sure there are no DPI settings, but I could manually do that myself If I can render out absurdly high resolutions :)

I admit I have not done tests myself, but am curious if I should know about any limitations before hand.

Thanks!

Re: QCrystal rendering size limitations?

From the UI, the largest size is 2048x2048 -- this is for safety reasons.

From the command line (QuartzCrystalCLI, inside the QuartzCrystal app bundle) you're free to specify anything you'd like -- however, Apple's Software OpenGL renderer craps out around 16384x16384 I think. When rendering to contexts that large, you shouldn't use antialiasing (basically, dimensions * antialiasing can't exceed 16384, or context creation fails).
