Interaction of Viewport Camera DPI and Sheet Layer DPI

[philgilbert]

Working in Spotlight, I have a Renderworks Camera feeding a Viewport on a Sheet Layer. The Sheet Layer is set to A4 size at 96dpi while the Camera is set to a 1.5 Aspect Ratio for Film Size of 8"x10" at 96dpi. The Viewport is scaled at 1/4"=1' which fits it nicely onto the page and there is no crop on the viewport.

 

My question is...how do the two DPI settings interact? If I want to raise the DPI of the output to 300dpi, do I only have to adjust the Sheet Layer DPI in this instance or do both Sheet Layer and Camera need to be set to 300dpi?

 

Thanks,

 

Phil

The camera's DPI settings do nothing.

 

The only two things that affect output resolution (# of pixels) are the size of the viewport (the literal width and height on the page) and the sheet layer Raster Rendering DPI. That's it 🙂
