strikeout Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 This may be old news, but I saw this information posted a couple of days ago about the forthcoming release of Black Shark. Please visit http://www.really.ru/eng Thanks
dynamocl Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Wow. Firstly I have just given myself a head ache by forcing myself to go "Bozz eyed" and feel a little dizzy, but the effect (especially in the cockpit) of those pictures looks great. Just a shame the current 3D viewing hardware isnt that good. (heard motion sickness and headaches will prevail after just a little use)
Weta43 Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 It's worth noting that the stereo pairs are swapped all of the images - left eye image is on the right, so if you cross eyes & get an image the depth is reversed - things that should go in go out. if you edit them so the halves are the other way round they work properly (Edit -after downloading & editing all the pairs to the right way round - they look awesome. That Ka-50 cockpit is a work of art & thought the definition of the captures is a bit low on the LOBS shots, the FC shots are superb - the shot of the re-fueling could be real, as could the 2 Ka-50 flying through the hills. The Mig-29 rising up to meet you with the village in the background is pretty cool too.) Cheers.

My eyes must be wired up wrong as well then, since lookign at the images on the website cross eyed and they looked ok to me. Just seeing those images has made me look into the 3D glasses option. You can get the shutter glasses for about $40. Has anyone used them at all? Are they as good as they are made out to be and will the effect seen in those screenshots on that link (when looking cross eyed) be like what occurs with shutter specs?
dynamocl Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Why would they change the resolution of my monitor? From what I gathered these are glasses that you wear while watching your monitor. The glasses have shutters that alternate (very very quickly) between allowing just your left eye to view and then just your right eye. Meanwhile your monitor flicks in synchrous with the glasses to showing a left eye picture and a right eye picture. Thereofore I am still looking at my own monitor (running 1280x1024) just with some special specs on. And the result (due to fooling the brain with two pictures) is a 3D representation. I have found some of these specs for about £40, wondered if the effect is really any good (I know that ghosting and sunglass dimming of the monitor may occur) https://edimensional.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=29&osCsid=c64d4b4d1e57e16ca296b9a78e34994e These also have an advantage over the full head on displays with LCD screens 1 inch from your eyes (apart from eye strain) but also that you can still see things through them, i.e. your keyboard, so you can still control things while having the glasses on (unlike the VR visors).
Weta43 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I have an old victorian 3D viewer for stereo pairs that means you can look at (nearly) full screen images without having to cross your eyes. You'll still get a 3d effect on the full size images as they are on the site - but things will look odd (things that should go in go out). It's not hard to work out which image should go on which side anyway - things in foreground in the left eye's photo should be moved to the right relative to the background & to the left for the right eye. Try downloading & editing the images so the image presently on the left is on the right then try looking at them - they'll make much more sense. Cheers.
dynamocl Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I may have a look. But has anyone on this site tried the shutters with Lockon?
Weta43 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Having seen these shots I'm very interested too ... Cheers.
diveplane Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 like those pics heres some edited https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
Weta43 Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 So if I buy a set that aren't supported by my video card they probably won't work very well? Cheers.
diveplane Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 dont think they still support ati cards ...driver issues..... https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
dynamocl Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Weta, from what I can gather, NVIDIA have drivers that support most. NVIDIA renders a scene I imagine with a little offset to the left for the left eye and a little offset to the right for the right eye. Since the 3D card is doing the rendering, I assume the driver just informs the card to do this little shift every alternate frame. No one has said if they use them yet though, I guess they are rarer than I thought. You plan on getting some Weta? Fancy doing a review?
Weta43 Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I don't know. I'm well impressed by the stereo pairs on that site. I've asked about them on the tech forum here before. One or two replies... I thought I might build a new machine around the end of the year (after a disastrous upgrade earlier this year) so maybe then - but I'll do a bit more research first. Cheers.
