Woohoo, new 22" LCD, 1680x1050, starting to feel spoiled

Dark Radiant beautifully can spread across multiple monitors (haven't tried more than two, but due to the way it works on two I'm confident it would work with more), so now with this new screen I can really spread out even more and edit just that much easier.

 

I'm on a laptop, so the laptop screen is now the tiny one, only 1280x800, and I like to use that one for the 3D view, with all the editing windows here on the main large screen (with DR in windowed view of course)

 

I think the only way to have four or six screens (besides figuring how to mount them around the desk on floating mount arms or whatever) is to have a motherboard with multiple video card slots so you can run two or three video cards at the same time, using both video outs on each one.

 

Anyone out there had more than two screens running?

You could just get a bunch of old and cheap PCI video cards, those can be used for multi-monitor. But you'd need a desktop for that, I don't think there are any PCMCIA video cards...

Here's a couple pics, one with the setup I described, the second with the 3D view spread across both screens. Last is a short vid of me flying around in the wide 3D view.

Haha! Yes, my computer desk setup is far from ideal, but I'm comfortable enough with it actually. Our apartment is pretty tiny and there's not much room for anything (we can't get a full size couch in here, a double bed is the maximum that will fit, our kitchen table is tiny, etc).

Boy that looks fun. Makes dromed look like DR's pet chihuahua by comparison.

 

Watch out for that thunderstorm on the way, though! ^_^

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

I often wonder what hardcore DromEd junkies will think of DR (disregarding all side issues of loyalty, familiarity, etc). An editor that is flexible, powerful, slick... and if it doesn't do something you want it to, you can fix it. :wub:

 

On a semi-related note, I just finished The Den, the last act of Gaetane's L'Arsene series. I cannot even fathom what she'll do with DR and TDM (here's hoping The Black Frog doesn't burn her out). She's a madwoman!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
