Multiple Monitor support

Hey there,

Any idea when multiple monitor support will be added to Unity?

From what I read in the forums, there is no support yet.
Note: I'm evaluating Unity 2.0.

Specifically, I have an application that will need to stretch 3 monitors wide.
Final deployment is under Windows (I hate to admit this).

Thanks in advance,

Second'd

Maybe it could be as simple as a variable on the Camera which renders to a particular screen ID?

 

I also would love to see this happen. And I think we probably have a budget to help it along.....

 

Another vote from the crowd.

Greetings All,

Any updates on this issue? I've been searching the docs and forums with no luck.

My end goal is to accommodate for a stereo display, 2 virtual cameras rendering to 2 different screens.

What I've done so far :
Currently, I have 2 cameras offset and parented under the First Person Controller Prefab in the Island demo. I then split the screen with Normalized View Port Rect. This works fine in windowed mode, I set the screen resolution using Screen.SetResolution (1600, 600, false);
but I can't use this method for full screen mode it seems.

I attached a screen grab.

 

I used a triplehead2go from Matrox to make a unity application span across 3 screens.

 

I'm interested in doing this also. I'm guessing this was done with a Windows stand-alone, right? Any performance issues? I really like your monitor stands!

 

Thank you for pointing out that device, looks good

I've recently had success with full screen mode on a windows machine with a horizontal span setup on 2 monitors. I used the same technique of setting the resolution, only catch is to treat 2 monitors as one in your nvidia control panel.

 

Actually it was a mac standalone. I don't understand windows.

The Installation was running from an "old" dual G5, with no performance issues running @ 3072 x 768.

 

Thanks Bjerre,

Were you able to run your stand alone in full screen mode or did you have to run it in a window?

Many thanks...

 

I had it running in fullscreen mode

 

Hi, Some news about multiple monitor support? Unity 3? I need display my application in fullscreen on second monitor and primary monitor must be usable for work. Is it possible? I can do it with webplayer, but Application will better.

Thanks
