60K render in 3dsmax

[maxehrlich]

I have a job that calls for a 60K x 30K rendering. I used blowup to render a beauty pass in 9 sections.

 

Now I want to render a pass with refractive materials and would like to use render region to selectively render portions of the viewport but I am limited by the 3dsmax limit of 32678 x 16384.

 

How are others working around the limits of 3dsmax's render size?

It's a huge requirement - sorry I have no idea how to increase that.

May I know why you need such a huge size, just curious to know - I have one more question in mind, why 3Ds max is restricted to this size ( 32678 x 16384 ) specifically?

This is for a billboard? If so keep in mind that the image will be viewed from a distance, so there is no real need for it to be super detailed.

Good luck!

That requirement has no sense at all.

 

For any wall advertisement or whatever you don't need that resolution, actually could be a problem for printers to manage those huge files.

 

Anyway, render by parts it's what i would do...

Yeah rendering that big means they didn't take into consideration viewing distance. I'd check their requirements before figuring this out.
