Encapsulated PostScript Files

3DS MAX can render images to Encapsulated PostScript format files, which have the .eps or .ps extension.

PostScript is an Adobe page-description language for encoding graphics images. It is supported by many printing devices and is widely used in desktop publishing and graphic design as a means of porting images from one platform to another.

Units: Select inches or millimeters.

Image Orientation: Select portrait (tall) or landscape (wide).

Data Format: Select binary or ASCII.

File Type: Select color or grayscale.

Preview: Check to generate a thumbnail image so that file browsers can preview the contents of the PostScript file.

Page Size: Set width and height measurements.

Resolution: Set width and height resolution in dots per inch (dpi).
