Anyone know how to take bigger screenshots than your moniter?

Been thinking about trying to get a set of pretty big screenshots for use on a posterboard, but I'm not entirely sure how the heck to take screenshots bigger than my computer's moniter size.

Anyone know how?

hmmm dont think u can do it but not entirely sure

To the best of my knowledge the size an quality of a screen shot are tied to what your gfx card is rendering, which in turn is tied to the size and resolution of your monitor and game settings. I could conceptually see a program that causes the card to render a frame straight to a file, thus bypassing the physical restrictions, but I don't know if such a thing exists.

There is a brute force approach you can use for static screen shots bigger than your monitor. Basically, you patch an array of screen shots together using a graphics tool (Paint, Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, GIMP, etc.). Start with one file and then paste copies of the other screen shot files onto the first file until you have super big picture. This won't work if you are trying to capture a dynamic scene from RIFT, because things will move while you are taking your "array" of screen shots. Bes

I'm not sure if this will work for your problem, (or even works at all for that matter), but maybe? http://ynea.futureware.at/cgi-bin/index.pl

It might work, Naay. But it's sort of a work around. Thanks for your responses guys. I tried googling this earlier and besides the option of writing my own code to do it, there's no one program that can do this. And yes Bes, you're right, I could just do a patchwork. If I can help it though, I'd rather not mainly because I don't trust my ability to line the edges up very well. What I might do is just take a regular screenshot and then blow it up using photoshop. I'll lose some quality, but hopefully it won't be too bad.
