The StereoGraphics web site is an excellent resource for determining if your graphics cards are compatible with Java 3D and the standard OpenGL stereo API. In particular, check out the diagnose.zip download -- if it indicates that stereo is available, then it will work for Java 3D stereo as well. http://www.stereographics.com/support/body_support.html > With OpenGL I was able to create field sequential stereo view. Are you using a consumer-level Nvidia gaming card? Many of these support a proprietary stereo function that can only be enabled from their OpenGL driver, and do *not* support the standard OpenGL stereo API that Java 3D requires. If you're still interested in getting field-sequential Java 3D stereo to work with your app, let us know what hardware/drivers you're using and what errors or other difficulties are coming up, and we should be able to give you some more guidance. As you noted, vertically-interlaced stereo is not directly supported by the OpenGL API, and your app need access to the stencil buffer to render the images with any performance. If this mode ever became an OpenGL extension then Java 3D would be able to support with or without exposing the stencil buffer. -- Mark Hood =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
