Topic: Descent 3 in Anaglyph 3D and Shutter glasses Stereo 3D

That's okay, I've never been that big a fan of 3D anyway.

Are you sure vitosky? Nvidia lists Descent3 as "Excellent" in its compatibility list.

You could buy an expensive 3D glasses set and use 3DVision mode, scyphi. Although tbh I'm not sure how well that would look on a monitor with such low refresh rate.

For now this the only method to enable 3D mode with Descent 3, the Nvidia engineers they said that 3d vision will work if we patch the game to directx9

My only complaint to this is that you'd see everything in red and blue. 

Scyphi if don't like anaglyph buy a pair of Edimensional shutter glasses, they works very well with IZ3D drivers:

I have tested Nglide wrapper with IZ3d driver and it's work very well it's support Windows7 too, then i recommend this in place of Dgvoodoo wrapper that not work with Retribution campaign, and moreover i have added support for shutter glasses and screenshots ingame at the top of my post.
Now Descent 3 in Stereo 3D with shutter glasses it's fantastic.

I have added screenshots in Stereo 3d and link to download the Nglide wrapper.

Vitosky, I'd like to try this.  Any recommendations on where to find a decent/cheap pair of shutter glasses?

There are some links in his first post.

Bump with relavent data


Ok, so I am using the traditional red and cyan glasses and the test for them in the NVIDIA Control pannel looks fine, but every game I try, it just changes the color. The only thing 3D would be the "laser sights" that NVIDIA gives you. I tried increasing the depth and convergence and I get no change (except for the laser sight.)



MechWarrior 4's rating is rated as "Fair." I can confirm that D3's rating was "excelent."

The 3D does not work with Open-GL at all. Not even a color change or status menus or the crosshairs...If anyone wanted to know...


So how do I get it to work exactly?



These are obviously not the fruity colors that you would expect from the cockpit of a mech in MechWarrior 4

If you're going to even try 3D you will need to use D3D I'm guessing. Open-GL is too uncommon these days for NVidia to bother supporting it when everything is all Direct3D.

[NUMBERZero]

Yes, both D3 and MechWarrior use Direct3D. Both games have that same orange tint.

I was reading somewhere (can't find it) that if you don't have a monitor with a refresh rate of 120Hrtz, you cannot use the 3D....lolwut?
The NVIDIA demos worked and D2X-XL's 3D works, so what gives?

EDIT: Found more stuff that says that the Anaglyph does not require a refresh rate of 120. Back to "what gives?"

[Matthew]

Nah, that's a load. Any refresh rate can use 3D, it's just that your framerate might look a bit stuttery at anything lower.
