Maggi: Parhelia & Eye 3D Shutterglasses ?

[MK]

Hi Maggi,

do your Eye3D Shutterglasses work with Parhelia ?

MK

[Marshmallowman]

do they?

[Maggi]

Hi Guys,

right now they don't for two reasons:

- the drivers don't support Win2k
- they don't include Parhelia as supported gfx card

Only workaround that might enable my glasses would be to purchase (!) EyeScreamPro and modify registry settings from GF3 so that those would be running for Parhelia.

To be honest, I don't really feel to purchase EyeScream without a guarantee that P will run it.

Maybe I'll try later down the road.

Maggi - many thanks for the honest answer. Let`s wait and see what changes will come concerning drivers ...

Update

Little update ...

I grabbed their free demo version of EyeScream Pro that supports Q3A & 4x4 Evolution.
Q3 works fine, although I had to tweak it for running at my desired resolution and refresh.



Since I don't have 4x4, I cannot comment on that, but considering how immersive Q3 is, I might purchase the full version of EyeScream Pro

cool, still saving the sheckles

[Maggi]

pardon me, but what are "sheckles" ?

Thanx Chhas !

L'il update ...

I just purchased EyeScream Pro (only 14.95 US-$ from their online store) and I'm really looking forward to checking it out over the weekend !!!



I'll keep you posted how it works out and only letdown I could spot so far is lack of DX support, but imo there are plenty of OpenGL games out there that would really benefit from the true third dimension. On a slighty different note, if there were any W9x drivers for Parhelia, I could use EyeScream 2000 instead and would get at least some basic DX support for my glasses, but I guess you just can't have it all at once.

Btw, how many of you actually have H3D shutter glasses ?

[Rakido]

i have one, but they never worked for me. i blame that on the geforce2gts in my gaming machine (still my g400max in the working rig)

[Maggi]

What drivers were you using, Rakido ?

Update

Hi Guys,

just to keep you updated, I successfully ran 4x4 Evolution 2, Half-Life, Quake3, Serious Sam and Soldier Of Fortune, using Wicked3D's eyeScream Pro ...

Since 4x4 Evo 2 isn't officially supported I had to tinker around and found out that I simply had to create a copy of the game's executable, rename it
to 4x4.exe, place a shortcut on my desktop and let the control panel rescan for supported games.
After that I had to set 4x4 to run in OpenGL mode and could enjoy the ride.




Since these drivers only support a few hands full of OpenGL based games and completely lacks any DX support, I hunted the web for something more compatible and found http://www.vrcaddy.com/

Limited Time Trial version
This trial version does not expire at all. The limitation is, 3D effect will last only for 2-4 minuites once it is activated. You will have enough time to get VRCaddyXP work for you.

I had instant success in running NFS Porsche and guess what I just ordered online ?

[Maggi]

Just a little update, since there was a request over here

Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Unreal and UT are running as well using those VRCaddy drivers ...

Where did you connect your glasses (shutter)?
There's no connector for that on the Parhelia?
And EyeScream is just a soft?
