But isn't it true that only the objects that are visible in the viewport are what are written to the rendered image file? I was proposing rendering a poster-sized image in "tiles" and stitching them back together post facto to create a very large, high resolution image.
something like: ----------------------- | | | | | | | render 1 | render 2 | | | | | | | |---------------------- | | | | | | | render 3 | render 4 | | | | | | | ----------------------- I feel like I'm missing something important here! -Tom -----Original Message----- From: Tsjerk Wassenaar [mailto:tsje...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 11:45 AM To: Thomas Stout Cc: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [PyMOL] Saving high resolution images Hi Thomas, The viewport is not important for rendering. You can render at whatever resolution/dimensions you want with whatever viewport. You can even make a panorama using a wide angle lens if you want to have something for on your wall ;) Cheers, Tsjerk On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 11:43 PM, Thomas Stout <tst...@exelixis.com> wrote: > > > Here's a crazy idea: if someone out there were clever at both python > and manipulating orientation matrices, I would bet that a "scene" > could be quartered or cut into eighths and "translated" such that each > portion filled the viewport for rendering; then the individual images > could be spliced back together in one's favorite image handling > program a la panoramas in photography....
