(this may appear twice)

OK so general consensus is this client is asking for something impracticable.
I think the best option is to render at 72dpi for those dims then up-scale as suggested and re sizing to 300dpi in-case the printer picks up on it.
Slightly concerned im giving them a valid reason not to pay...
On a slightly different note a few of you have suggested omitting displacement on hi-res renders. Something i find to significantly add to the realism of a render is the 'jagged edges' or at least not smooth, flat kirb edges and stone. I appreciate chamfering all the edges in SU prior to rendering would solve this to an extent but it seems a mammoth job..?!

I have considered this but ideally wanted a longer term solution. Final render times at around 4000x3000 have taken up to 2 1/2 days depending on reflections and displacement amount.

Hi all,

First ever forum post so apologies if this is a stupid Q;

Have been asked by a client to render an image at 300DPI to be printed 4m wide by 2.5m High. with my current computer spec I will be grey and old before this renders (im 28)

Im using vray 1.49 for sketchup pro 8 computer spec as follows;

-Gigabyte GA-B75-D3V Socket 1155 VGA DVI 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
-XFX HD 7850 Core Edition 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Dual DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
-Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium w/SP1
-Intel Core i7 3770 3.4GHz Socket 1155 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
-HGST Deskstar 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache - OEM (for storage and files)
-SanDisk 128GB Pulse SSD - 2.5" SATA-III - Read 490MB/s Write 380MB/s (for programs)
-Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) Ddr3 1600mhz Vengeance Memory Kit

I need to severely upgrade mu PC and am willing to pay 1k+ if it dramatically improves performance.

Thanks in advance
