Hi

when i render from Rhino, do i need to change the model unit, millimeter to meter?? when i render (while the unit is millimeter) it looks blurry.but when i change to meter it looks clear.do i need to change it??

would it be more efficient exporting file to Maxwell Studio and render from there??

No, you don't need to bother about units in Rhino - you just need to set up the fStop correctly for the smaller scenes. It is no different when rendering from Studio; you would still need to mind the fStop. To help, you may want to try the 'Auto-focus to Objects' button in the plugin's Camera toolbar.

See how f-Numbers relate to image quality and blurring on Wikipedia under the section "Effects on Image Quality":

(...you can read the other sections as well...)

Also, it doesn't matter what unit you are in, meter or millimeters - AS long as all your object are the correct size. That is, if you are in meter, and modeling a car - it should be around 2-4 meters long, but if you are in millimeters, make sure it is 2000-4000 millimeters.
