So i've been playing around with renpy and daz3d characters. And I can't seem to add the characters into renpy. It appears too big and when i try to render it smaller the quality is really bad. Do i need to compress the image and make it smaller or something? How do i do that? Can you guys give me any tips?

Here's how it looks in renpy

Seems like the most straightforward way to do it is open the image in GIMP (or similar) and resize it to the proper size.

You could either resize the image after you rendered them in full HD to an appropriate size with a 3rd party tool OR you can use the im.scale command looking like this:
Code:
image imagename = im.Scale("image.png", 345, 460)
With the setup up there it will shrink the image to 345x460 (Not good for your image, you should use a size which fits into the 16:9 format so it doesn't look streched and so on. If the image was 1920x1080 you should probably set it to something like: 640, 360)
Or you use the function ;)

I find standing really, really far away from my monitor helps. It makes everything tiny.

That, or GIMP to resize the character PNG is a close second.

Or, just delete the character PNG and let me take in that beautiful environment render!
