I actually use a TV as a monitor, but not one that big. It is nice that most modern graphics cards have 3-6 outputs, usually at least 2 of which are HDMI.

yeah my 3rd was display port  so i had to order a DP to HDMI dongle adpter thingy .

its handy for when i want to  play a x box like game .

[scifidude79]

I've still never seen a monitor with that display port hookup. I guess the exist somewhere.

[Prime_8]

yeah in $$$$ land , just down the road from "if you have to ask the price , you should not shop here "  lane.

[scifidude79]

Yeah, my 24" 1080p HDTV I use as a monitor was under $100 from Walmart's website. It's got HDMI and VGA, so I'm set.

I know Apple uses display port, so I figured it was expensive.

it's early to say but I think that my ISP may have fixe the systemic issue with my cable last night.

fixing what I think was a break in the line or so .. during a wind storm no less.

I will know by 10 pm tonight is i keep my 550 - 600 down and 20 to 22 up speed.


also, Jim and I were able to finally test my code on a decent net connection.  he got to fly around and see the new ship up close and over the net.  I was able to see some motion compensation is still needed, but it's way better.
I only grabbed 1 pic as not much new to see.

PS that's Jim I have locked as he hiding on the other side of the asteroids.


I did have a crash during adding of extra play Jim went past the limit I set and it crashed LOL so gotta fix that .

[scifidude79]

Well, I hope your internet is back up to speed. That shot looks great.

[scifieric]

Nicely done, and congratulations on getting some of your speed back!

Yeah, and that image definitely gets a "WOW!" from me.

[ozylot]

Looking great!

[Prime_8]

It seems so , if it stays good into the night then it likely they fixed something up the line.


Started a big ship.
don't like the engines so they are place holders for now.

[Prime_8]

used the early textures to help me figure where I wanted to cut seams and plates into the hull.

larger greebles and such . LOL

[scifidude79]

That ship looks really nice so far.

[Prime_8]

Thanks.
I don't like the engines.

[scifidude79]

Thanks.
I don't like the engines.

I do. But, it's your ship and you've gotta do what works for you.

[scifieric]

Thanks.
I don't like the engines.

I do. But, it's your ship and you've gotta do what works for you.

I do too, but Scott is an artist and he will do what he likes.

I think the ship looks spectacular!
