How to edit 'quickres.ini':
To add new resolutions like i.e.
1280x720 pixels (16:9) in mosaic rendering and in rendering with antialiasing
we have to open the file 'quickres.ini' and
copy the following text somewhere in that file, as shown in the opposite image.
[1280x720,16:9,No AA,mosaic]
Width=1280
Height=720
Antialias=Off
+B2048
+SP16
+B1024
[1280x720,16:9,AA 0.3]
+B2048
Width=1280
Height=720
Antialias=On
Antialias_Threshold=0.3

A new resolution with 'mosaic' and 'antialiasing'
|
Note:
If you use other aspect ratio than 4:3,
don't forget to use a camera with the proportions defined by
right x*image_width/image_height !!!!
Otherwise the image field will look stretched or compressed!

 POV-Ray reads 'povray.ini' and 'quickres.ini' only once while starting.
Any change in these files need a shut down and restart of the POV-Ray program to take effect!
