Description of stereo mode
Hardware requirements for 3D-Stereo mode
- Graphics card supporting OpenGL quad-buffered stereo*;
- LCD shutter glasses compatible with the selected graphics card;
- CRT display with good frequency characteristics (Display should support
at least 1280*1024*100Hz mode). 100-150 Hz vertical frequency is recommended
to work with shutter-glasses.
*Please notice that only few graphics cards support this mode. Typically professional series GPU support this mode.
Please read carefully the card technical specifications and/or consult the technical specialist to determine if the specific card is capable of the OpenGL quad-buffered stereo mode.
The full-screen stereo mode provided by NVIDIA for GeForce GPUs is not the native OpenGL quad-buffered stereo mode, the current Oxygen is NOT able to produce stereo image with this mode.
We have tested the 3D-Stereo mode of Oxygen with the following hardware configuration:
- Pentium4 2.6 Ghz with 512 Mb RAM;
- NVIDIA Quadro FX 1100 graphics card;
- 3DS-GS LCD shutter-glasses (by STEL Company).
Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee you the correct work of arbitrary hardware
configuration in 3D-Stereo mode. Please try this at your own risk.
The use of configuration similar to the specified above should
increase your chance of success. We are not able to give you support for configuring your Stereo-3D
equipment. Please refer to the equipment manufacturer support resources.
Starting Oxygen Inclusion in 3D-Stereo mode
Once you successfully configured your 3D-Stereo hardware you may
try to start Oxygen in Stereo mode.
Step 1. Check your 3D equipment with test
and software shipped with equipment vendors. Please be sure that your hardware
correctly works with OpenGL quad-buffered stereo mode.
Step 2. Create shortcut for StereoOxygen: Click
Windows menu Start / All programs find the Oxygen Inclusion icon
and right-click it with mouse. In the popup menu click "Create
shortcut" option. You should see the newly created shortcut
"Oxygen Inclusion (2)". With right click edit the properties
of this shortcut. On the "General" tab edit the title for example "Oxygen Inclusion Stereo"), on the "Shortcut"
tab change the "Target" string: add the /GLStereo string after the program path. Typically the "Target" looks as
"C:\Program Files\OctoNus Software\Oxygen Inclusion\oxygen.exe"
And after modification should be like this:
"C:\Program Files\OctoNus Software\Oxygen Inclusion\oxygen.exe" /GLStereo
Step 3. Run the "Oxygen Inclusion Stereo" shortcut. Without shutter-glasses the image
should look blurred. With shutter-glasses the image should look truly three-dimensional.
Adjust the stereo separation option for photos ("stereo dist"
parameter in photo panel). If you have 400 photographs per full
360° rotation then value 3 or 4 produces optimal stereo depth. Try positive and negative number and
you will understand what sign is correct for your series of photographs.
*You need to click [ > ] or [ < ] buttons after new stereo dist is typed to refresh the stereo-image.
Tips
- Stereo mode in OpenGL may be initially disabled. To enable it
for nVidia Quadro *** cards please find this option here:
"Control Panel / Display / Settings / Advanced / Quadro FX *** / .. /"Additional
OpenGL Settings", "Enable stereo in OpenGL" option.
- If you use system with 2 displays (for example one LCD and one CRT) make the Display you plan to use for stereo
as primary. In 2-display system the stereo image is displayed only on the primary
display. The secondary display shows only mono (left-eye) image. For NVIDIA cards you can
find this setting here:
"Control Panel / Display / Settings / Advanced / Quadro FX *** / nView
Display Settings".
