I've seen a few products that convert computer games into real (-time) 3D but never one for 3D productivity apps. I don't mean "post" plug-ins, that take conventional renders/animation files [like .avi's] and convert to stereoscopic formats. I mean being able to model [etc] in real 3D. It seems like a natural fit doesn't it? I get the feeling we'll all have holograpic projection televisions in our livingrooms before being able to work in real 3D on our computers! Sigh. Off-topic note: i stumbled across a web review claiming the new Toshiba laptop 'free 3d' screen isn't very good. [Vertical stripes, dim, fuzzy text]. Looks like another five years before the revolution arrives. Sorry, didn't note url. marinusNOSPAMlutz@hotmail.com Skeleton walks into a bar, orders a beer and a mop. |

There are stereo "plug-ins" for a few cad softwares.(acad, 3ds viz,mstation...) Actually modelling in mono mode is easyer than in stereo mode. |

"real time" 3D is theoretically possible with any OpenGL application. If the Application has an SDK to give you the hooks into the propper display properties. MAX and VIZ have a plugin to allow working in stereo mode. I am working on a VBA script for SolidWorks. I am hoping to get the updated version of FormZ to write a Script for that as well. the trouble is that you cut your resolution in half. leaving all the onscreen text virtually unreadable. It is much easier to work in non-stereo mode but, it is really cool to show work-in-progress to others in stereo. Bart |

I've had solidworks and 3dstudio max running in stereoopengl using softquadro, the problem is that there are no stereo option for newer versions of 3dstudio max and solidworks, bart: what versions of solidworks would be supported? Maart |

I am using Solidworks 2004 The macro works the same in 2003 or I should say I can get it to work wrong in both. I have part of the code wrong and I am only getting one side of the stereo image to display. The other image buffer appears to be empty |
