hi,
Is there a planning for a trackir 6dof compatible version?

Anyway great mod.

hi,
Is there a planning for a trackir 6dof compatible version?

Anyway great mod.

Yes peybolman and the rest,

            as soon as a final version is defined and all the features work in most of the systems properly, I'll try to adapt it to the most demanded requirements:

  -Ecranwide
  -6DOF IR

  For the while I tell you that V4 now is quite stable, it doesn't do anymore those stupid whiteouts agains the sun, it doesn't grab textures from other places, etc. And the stereo depth now that the image is so stable is wonderful, it is really immersive. The only problem it has is that one with the damage mask of objects, that still intereferes and time to time you see "holes" or missing textures in planes. I don't understan why that happens.

  When the new version appears (V4 Final), instead of only having 3D Stereo On / Off, I will set the next options through the two buttons plus the wheel:

  0-Stereo Disabled
  1-Stereo Mode A (the one you saw in v4Beta, that will become the default)
  2-Stereo Mode B (the original v3, required for ScrrenShots).
  3-Stereo Mode C (a variant of the V3 with an intemediate buffer).
  4-Stereo Mode D (a two combined frames version that still doesn't work very good).

  Obviously, after having found your preferred mode you will be able to set it as default through Conf.ini.

                       Pablo

Hi Pablo, sorry for not answering earlier, but I was away from home and home computer. I have a NVidia Geforce GTX460 card. I installed your latest version (V4b), no flickering over water anymore, but in 3D mod, the screen gets dark (like flying in late afternoon or early evening, I can see all planes and handle mine); also, the combination of two mouse buttons simultaneously pressed down & scrollwheel move does not always work, but this may have to do with my mouse. I haven't tested the earlier version, many thanks again for this ingenious mod of yours! 
EDIT: Also tested with DBW 1.6, the same. When 3D is activated, I get a dark, "late afternoon" sort of  screen. Mouse functions, OK.

Hi Pablo, with this v4 even though a big improvement and quite stable, I still do have whiteouts against the sun unfortunately...
Thks for the big effort!
Best regards,
Gianluca

OK People,

             during the weekend I will release the V4 version of the Stereo MOD.

  I learnt a lot durign the development of this MOD. It's amazing how even using an intermediate macro-language as the OpenGL, the results can be so different in diverse hardware and configurations.

  I still only have ATI cards, but I learnt that the possibilities of the cards with Quad Buffers like those of nVIDIA (the so called Quadro = any "Stereo capable") are huge if you program directly from the applications (as in this case). But then it is necessary to differentiate in code what type of card are you dealing with (but now I have the knowledge enough as to do it).

  So if anybody wants to make a donation of an nVIDIA card (a Quadro one) for development, it will allow to have a perfect implementation of Stereo (not only through perfect Anaglyphs but for special LCDs, LCD googles, etc.). If someone is interested on this please PM me.

  Regards,
                           Pablo

Which kind of GPU are you looking for?

[Paulo Hirth]

 I believe Nvidia will be interest in your work, and they suport work like this with good videocards donation, were you from Benitomuso? You can sent a youtube video and request the suport or we can open a paypal account for community donation, before please check here:

Just tried this...WOW, it works!. (V4.0 Beta).

Got GT540m
OpenGL
Vsync On

Only problem i see is the total white sunglare.
Brilliant stuff

Walter,
               nothing special. I don't know about nVIDIA models. But I think that the most reasonable would be to have an average model, not a top line one, so whatever tested there could be compatible for everybody. I think that a 1Gb card (with Quad buffers) will be enough.

Paulo, good suggestions. I'm from Argentina. I'm going to register there to see what happens. If anybody is in the mood of uploading to Youtube some video captured with the V4 that soon will be release (with this version it's possible), specifying that it was made with this MOD it could be as you said a good point to ask nVIDIA people if they want to collaborate.

For the while, and regarding the other way you proposed, I already have a PayPal account for the Total MODder:

If someone wants, that's a possibility too.

Y yo hablando en ingles el muy pelotudo...

Tremendo mod! Maestro!

Some weird just happend....after using the 3D glasses for some time... I close right eye and i see CYAN screen (not using glasses) and i close left eye...and i see red...

WEIRD :S

Sí, pero este es un sitio en inglés, creado por sudafricanos, así que todos hablamos ese idioma.

The first days I used the MOD, and with some other stereo experiments I'm performing, I started to realize that my perception of stereoscopy in real life was increased. In some way you get some kind of training that later, when you have to drive a car, or in a theatrical play some days ago, my perception of distances was quite more precise and depth.

I never felt what you say about tinted views, but may be a first effect. As almost everything in life, after some practice you get accustomed to it.
