    I’m using PIllusion v3.03 on a Dual 2.5 Ghz G5 with 4 GB RAM. The NVidia card I have
    supports a maximum texture of 4096×4096. When I rendered a grenade hit using software only
    at 3000×4000 the particles rendered sucessfully but everyting was scaled down and in the left lower corner of
    of the 3000×4000 frame. I need elements this size for a program that I am doing that is 1920×6000. Any ideas anyone?

    Were you rendering in particleIllusion, or in pIllusionRender? If you’re doing it in particleIllusion, it’ll only render out as large as your desktop’s maximum size. For a size that big, you’ll most likely have to use pIllusionRender.

    I was using Particle Illusion Render. I had read about the desktop size limitation. Thank you for your rapid response Elvis.

    Try turning off the OpenGL hardware acceleration — click the ‘Options’ button (pIRender for OS X).

    Alan,

    I did have it turned off, I’ve since tried several other files with consistent results. They all render small and in the lower left hand corner. Thanks

    Is this a complex project? If so, try to make it as simple as possible, make sure it still has the problem, then zip it and send it to wondertouch support.
