[vtkusers] Stereo rendering problem

[Chuck Anderson]

Hi Valeria,

I use VTK with a stereo projection system constantly. Drew¹ Dolgert¹s post
is correct, you need to go into the advanced settings for the video driver
and enable stereo. You also need to set the video card in a mode that
simulates the crystal eyes hardware stereo that VTK¹s stereo function is
designed for. I don¹t know about Wildcat video cards, but on nVidia Quadro
cards, the mode is called ³clone mode². Both projectors will display exactly
the same thing, except the vtk render windows will show left and right eye
views respectively.

Cheers,
Chuck
