Final resolution
During scene development, we are continuously rendering to
get a higher-resolution view of how the scene is developing,
but hopefully at a level that renders in few minutes. When pre-
paring for the final rendering, you will to want to crank up the
resolution and quality for the final output. This will dramatically
increase rendering times, and should be reserved for your final
work. How long rendering takes will depend on your scene, but
in my experience it can range from eight to 36 hours.
After some research, I decided a resolution of 150 dots per
inch (dpi) is sufficient. More pixels means more rendering time,
and based on my results, is not worth it.
