Monaco rendering
Just another great rendering by Brian @ Monaco Auto Design. Love his attention to detail getting all the uniqueness captured - Callaway S/C, emblem, stage 3 aero mix of carbon fiber and carbon flash. Even changed my title plaque to include he Callaway info.

$80 for Brian's awesome rendering skills. I have lots of SRT8 and CTS-V buddies headed his way now......hoping he'll do their cars. For my canvas I'm using GreatBigCanvas.com. 40"x30" framed will be about $165 delivered. Worth every penny.

The high Res file shows the "CALLAWAY" script perfectly on the lower sill. Can't wait to get my framed picture back.

My understanding is Canvas quality wouldn't look as good as high quality printing paper but obviously will last longer. Also Brian was recommending not to go that big without loss of quality. Do you already have the print or is it on the way? I'm wrestling on what to go with to get mine printed although I'm just doing 11X17.

For killer displays avoid canvas like the plague. Order a face mount acrylic print on gator board backing. You'll be floored by the depth and quality. Many places do them now but West Coast Imaging is tops.

When you load the file on greatbigcanvas' website it tells you what size will give the best image quality. 48x32 shows excellent quality. I went with 40x30, wood framed for $200 with tax and shipping. Ordered mine last night, should be here by the 22nd. Helps that they're in NC to, those of you outside the state will save on tax.

It's all about viewing distance. Canvas alone has a loss of quality. Prints need at least 150 pixels per inch for viewing a few feet away. 240ppi is standard for photograph quality. 300ppi or better is ideal. When you see how fast this drops off with increased print size you'll understand why the megapixel race occurred with cameras. Even with a 36MP sensor on my Nikon D800, I use some snazzy software to upsize images for large prints.

Got my framed print in yesterday and finally got to hang it. The digital file reproduces flawlessly at 40x30. Walnut frame sets it off nicely. Some of you will recognize VIR in my CTS-V track photos.
