Multimonitor Ruminations

Sorry to report Jim, that no background animation is moving on the secondary monitor. The purple Gorgonia is stationary until MA3 is shown only on the primary screen. The fan coral is also still stationary when viewed only on the secondary screen.
The bottom edge of the background wash when different resolutions are used, is now fixed, and no smearing is visible. But it is still necessary to have both screens at the same resolution or the smaller resolution image is stretched to cover the whole screen, and the images on the two monitors therefore do not then line up.

ie. The secondary monitor is not showing the whole image at a lower resolution, (when one is chosen), it is cropping the second screen's image down to the chosen resolution, and then stretching it across the whole screen. .... Same as was shown in this post.



Because of the above, I have not yet been able to study the fish changes in any detail.

Edit: I've had chance now to study those three fish with the added Specular etc. - It's really nice to watch the shading on the sides of the fish vary as they change direction. Particularly the Copperband! ... Great job, Jim! ... The same three in Beta8 now look quite boring...
