How too render higher resolution?

hi..all my renders are 72 of resolution, they look really pixelated, how can I have the jpg files at 300 ?

go to File>Export then the save window will open. at the bottom right hand corner hit options. set the size and quality, click check box for anti alias.

On the Windows system, you cannot adjust dpi settings. But that is not even necessary. Say you need a 30 cm wide image at 300 dpi. 300 dpi is 300 dots per inch which is ~118.11 dots per cm.

That is 30 x 118.11 ≈ 3543 pixels.

So if you do what Kris suggested and calculate your export settings as per above, you get the same image size. dpi settings are only for printers to know how "densely" they should print. On screen, it has no meaning at all. Most image editing applications can then set your dpi (which is then "embedded" as info into the image for printers)

An extra tip: SU makes a bit crappy antialiasing. So if you need the above image with really nice and crisp lines (vs. jaggy ones), export at a double resolution ( ~7086 pixels) and then resize your image in an external editor (where usually at the same time you can set dpi settings in the same dialog) to half of the original export, using some better antialiasing algorithm.
