Hello all,

I don't really know how many people are really interested in 3D Vision. I know some people are interested though! So, without replicating the whole post/thread .....

I want to announce the FIRST OPENGL 3D VISION WRAPPER with support up to OpenGL 4.4(unlike GLdirect or the others) !!!!!

Currently it has been developed against "Broken Age", so it will only work with it!. But, imagine playing classic games like: Amnesia (all of them), Knight of the Old Replubic I & II, etc., in Glorius proper stereoscopic 3D !!!!

Without going much into detail, the original post can be found on nVidia forums here. Hope you like it (so far)...

Best Regards,
Helifax

Hello all,

Some of you might know that last year (or even earlier) when The Walking Dead was released I created a plugin to fix the problematic Pillarbox effect of the game.
The Walking Dead - Season 2 just got released today (BIG THANKS to scavvenjahh for the donation of the game) and I have decided not to keep everyone waiting (since I am a cool guy like that ^_^) and also fix the Pillarbox effect that is present here also.

So no more talking:

Results:

I got a request some time ago to take a look at this game + expansion (!?) (Thanks for Valcan_S for donating the games). Since I do love good platformers and I do enjoy Rayman very much I gave it a try;)) I will not make a review of this game but suffice to say that this game introduces some awesome mechanics and is enough to keep you hooked up (at least it did with me).

What I want to focus is the problem with Surround/Eyefinity Rendering.

By default, you can select the resolution just fine. Aspect Ratio from the config is locked between the regular values, but the game DOES however calculate the correct aspect ratio. However the game exhibits a Vert- behavior meaning everything is UBER zoomed...

I did played today with the games (expansion is stand-alone) and fixed this behavior, so now the game is acting as it should...in a HOR+ fashion.
I tested this only on 3 Monitors on Landscape, but I image it should work on all setups.

The engine comes with 2 renderers, a DX9 and DX10-11. Personally I haven't seen a difference but oh well... I fixed both of them.
The reason I did this is since the game is almost flawless in 3D Vision Surround but ONLY on DX9 rendering. Under DX 11 it has some weird halos and the likes..

I for one, am a big fan of the DarkSiders series. Recently I started to play the two games again. While my plugin for Darksiders I works very well enabling Surround resolutions, the UI is not centered and honestly it didn't trouble me that much as the main UI positions are close to the center screen.

In DarkSiders II however, it wasn't that simple and the same. The most annoying things are the HUGE subtitles, Stretched cutscenes (bik videos) a non-working minimap, WRONG aspect ratio map and HUGE target nameplates only to enumerate a few.
I had a plugin previously that tried to correct the minimap problem but unfortunately it didn't correct the other aspects (except the map aspect ratio) and even introduced other problems.

Fear not, I took another look at the game and have created a plugin that FIXES almost all the above issues.

I know this is "old news" to some people, but I bet some people will greatly appreciate this. If you are a true RPG fan, like I am, you will no doubt be very gladly about it as this game is ageless.

I remember playing the game a couple of years ago, when it lunched so much and enjoying every second of it. At the time I was having only one monitor so everything looked right. Recently after finishing Dragon Age 2 for the 6th time, I wanted to revisit the place where "it all begun". So Dragon Age Origins found it's way back on my Hard Drive yet again. Sadly the Eyefinity/Surround support Bioware gave to the game is "nice" but in the end broken and unusable. Therefore, I thought about creating a fix for the game in order to be able to play it again in all its glory in 3D Surround, which means the default UI simply would not cut it.

Dear Ladies and Gents,

I've been busy in the last few days with my plugins for WideScreen Fixer regarding Mass Effect 1,2,3.
While both Me1 and Me2 have been improved to provide the complete Surround/Eyefinity experience I want to take about Mass Effect 3 plugin who suffered a complete revamp.

All the problems with the game have now been completely addressed !

Well here it is...

3D Surround Gaming

After spending more than a week to make this possible it's finally live!!!!
As it is said on the website is still a prototype as I am still experimenting various things.

WHY THIS... ?

... Because of the lack of content !

There isn't any website to stream 3D Videos in Surround resolutions...That's right!!! SURROUND resolutions in stereoscopic 3D,
mainly since it is considered a "niche" market and it also requires a lot of storage space to "hold" a video.
