sorry for opening old post, but I just found this script for 3ds max (which I remembered from before)
- so you press A4 - it bumps up your resolution to 2480x3507
for future reference

- the DPI thing is actually half bullshite, and I also had arguments with people about how the only setting I need is the pixel dimensions and they argue how I don't understand, you need 300 dpi, and just do it, so I ask, at what resolution, 300 dpi, then again I ask the resolution in pixels, then again I get the answer, it doesn't matter it has to be 300 dpi - then I think to myself "Ok, go die from stupidity"
- what people actually mean is "I want to print it out on A4 so it looks good" / or B1 or 3x5 meters (where you can go with 100 dpi because it doesn't matter - you are not going to stand 5 cm from the print to look at it (I actually had one render printed on 3.5x1x8m - at 8000 pixel wide resolution, because it was the maximum, and it looks great)
- there is a lot of confusion about this, because people don't understand the correlation between DPI and pixel dimensions, it is like you tell someone do this in 1000x2000 in 300 dpi / it does not compute
- also A4 in 200 DPI prints out pretty much perfect, I had a lot of renders just streched to fit my 1920x1200 monitor, and then I send them out, they printed out great / so..
- bottom line
A4 in 300 DPI = 2480x3507 px
B1 in 300 DPI = 8350 x 11811 px
