  • Rokid Max Review and Many Tips
    5 projects | /r/rokid_official | 21 Jul 2023
    You might have some luck using the SuperDepth3D shader for ReShade to add SBS support to PC games that were not designed for it. It "works" in that the Rokid Max will properly display the side-by-side images, but I did not succeed in getting it to actually produce a stereoscopic effect for the games I play. I'll update this post if I discover something new.
  • Portable full-HD 3D PC-gaming with Steam Deck and geo-11
    2 projects | /r/SteamDeck | 27 Jun 2023
    Obviously I wanted to have 3D PC gaming on the Deck too but I wasn't very optimistic, because 3D vision requires Nvidia drivers (up to version 452.06, Nvidia axed 3D Vision in 2019). There's also the possibility of using some post-processing via reshade (https://reshade.me/, depth3d), but those solutions use the z-buffer, so it's not "proper" 3D.

  • Praydog's Street Fighter 6 VR Mod Released!

    I still have an old copy of Tridef 3D before it went to crap that will do it, but you can also use ReShade with one of the depth map based shaders such as Depth3D, Superdepth3D, and Superdepth3D VR. This has more artifacts than what you can do in Tridef 3D because Tridef can use a polygonal method where each eye gets a correct view of the individual elements in 3D space wheras ReShade is essential shifting pixels left or right based on depth maps. When it shifts the pixels it doesn't really know what visual information should fill in the area that is now no longer occluded, so it uses various algorithms to try and fill it in, but we're not talking about anything A.I. based (that would be really cool but it'd take a lot of work to produce something that could do this in real time). This results in quite a bit of artifacting around the left and right edges of things, which bothers some people more than others. I find it varies from game to game. True stereoscopic rendering beats out depth map based methods everytime of course.

  • Where can I get the .fx files, like fakehdr.fx? I have a game install from someone else, but when I install reshade to another game, most fx files are missing. Can I just copy and paste? (Even if they're from an older version?)

  • Best way to play non-vr in VR?
    2 projects | /r/ValveIndex | 13 Dec 2021
    I recommend you buy Virtual Desktop to use in conjunction with Depth3D which is completely free and compatible with almost all games. That will enable you to see the game in 3D on a virtual screen in VR.

    You can try Deph3D.
