StereoGraphics Corporation is shipping StereoVue-3ds, a stereoscopic visualization plug-in that supports 3ds max 4, 3D Studio MAX R3 and 3D Studio VIZR3, enabling users to create stereoscopic images and animations.
The StereoVue plug-in allows the creation of two virtual cameras to create the left and right eye
images required for stereo views, the company said. These images are then rendered in a virtual frame buffer window. The plug-in allows full control of the Zero Parallax setting, enabling control over how much of the scene appears out of the screen and how much goes into the screen. At the same time, it features a built-in parallax checker to ensure that the parallax stays within a preferred range.
The plug-in supports stereoscopic viewing of rendered images in all stereo formats supported by StereoGraphics Stereo3D visualization products, including CrystalEyes(R)3, Monitor ZScreen(R) 2000i and StereoEyes(TM). These formats include above-and-below, side-by-side JPEG and stereo frame buffering as supported by VESA compliant stereo-capable graphics cards. All Windows platforms supported by 3D Studio are supported by the plug-in.
StereoGraphics’ StereoVue-3ds will ship in July for $129.
