render quality problem
 

as the topic says i have a problem with the quality of the saved jpg from the render (see attatchment)

i have rendered this image out with 120dpi and at 640x480 and when u look at it u se ehow bad the quality of the image is.

so my question is is there any way to get the quality of the final save jpg to be alot higher ??

It's been my experience that saving a JPG right out of the maya software renderer never yeilds a high quality image. So far I haven't found a setting that adjusts JPG compression. Usually it's pretty high and artifacty. Best suggestion is to render to a different format, preferably lossless (TIF, TGA) and then compress in photoshop or some other program that allows you to set compression.

It also looks as if you have an ambient light turned on. You might want to go with a 3 point rig instead to get the lighting a little better.

Hope this helps.
