I've been fiddling with LDView and I can't seem to render images larger than
1020x688 (my screen resolution is 1024x768). Does this mean that I can't render
images larger than my current screen resolution? What I did with LDGLite was
render a x3 scaling of the model and then shrunk the image to 800x600. This
makes the lines in the images crisper leading to a better overall image
appearance.

P.S. I'm using my box with an ATI 9800 Pro so I wouldn't consider my video card
old...
