Renders

[Phil hunt]

When I have built my model prior to render, I then create a viewport for my views if I have modelled the design at say 1:20 scale prior to creating viewports what scale should I pick for the viewport render Is there a rule that I need to follow to decrease the rendering time in the viewport, or should I choose say 1:50 scale, would this reduce the render time prior to exporting to say a jpg.

Your comments would be appreciated. I can't seem to find any tutorials that explain this

I don't think the scale of the sheet layer viewport matters.

What really matters is the dpi setting of the sheet layer.

MichaelK is exactly correct.

Usually for presentation you can keep a sheet layers DPI around 150. For quick test renders 72 is fine but will be a bit pixellated/grainy.

Most of the time you would not need to increase DPI past 300 at all except in the case of extremely large prints.
