[DIY] homemade NVIDIA 3dVision interface code

Did you follow this message about the DDK version to download and the settings to modify in VS :

Drowhunters message? Yup, but I got the latest DDK. I sorted the ddk error in the end, but ran in to things that were answered on the net as 'incompatiblities in win7' or so. Now a few hours later I realize that I should've posted those errors too, since I've already forgotten what it was. >.<

Yay, I spent this morning hacking away on this (even though when I got the infernal windows OS, I swore I'd only use it for gaming...) and I managed to compile the activator on win7. For what its worth, most of the problem was in unicode settings (I was knee deep converting it, until I read that I can turn it off in VS...) and some library malarkey.

It however flickers quite a bit, its not exactly gaming grade right now. Well, neither seem the iz3d beta drivers. Anyway, theoretically its possible to play in S3d with an ati card via the activator (kudos to the maker!!) and iz3d beta drivers. If someone figures out how to make the signal stable, well, that would be awesome.

Rock on!! Glad you got it built! I could really do with a peared down version of this that didn't peg one of my cpu cores at 100% utilization with some loop. All I use it for now is turning on the pyramid so I can sync it using the sync cable I made. I wonder how hard it would be to tear all the excess opengl stuff out and just have some code that turned on the pyramid... I'll have to install all this stuff and build on win7 too i guess If anyone else would be interested in this shout out.

I read about making the sync cable after I got this compiled. Was it hard to make and is it enough to have a stable signal? it needs to sync with a screen right? So I'm still out of luck regarding playing on viewsonic 22" 120hz screen?

[peter64]

I use an edimensional dongle with a vga cable and it syncs just fine using the latest iz3d drivers and the sync cable in shutter mode!
Right now i'm using a nvidia pc to get the pyramid running but I was hoping to use this code once a version was released that didn't lock my cpu at 100%.

Edimensionals seem to have vanished from the face of the earth. Or at least I can't find them. Last time I saw one, they were real cheap too. I guess I'll have to keep on looking.

EDIT: Well, they just weren't sold on ebay or amazon anymore (with shipping to finland). BUT, they're really really expensive. Damnit, anyone know where to pick up a vesa sync dongle _only_?

[peter64]

Its under all products mate 30 bucks!!! have a good one!

by the way in order to make this work you'll need to make a earphone jack to minidin connector.
I suggest you either buy one of these

and cut the end of and attach an earphone jack to it OR you just buy the connector at your local electronics shop and attach it to an earphone plug.
or you buy the real cable like this one

The materials cost like 5$. If you can get them and solder them...

*edit*
Here's instructions on how to make one...

Thanks! I'll pick one up later this month. The cable can be got from Nvidia for 9$ on the nvidia store.

EDIT: argh. looks like you were right about the cable. Only stores in australia sell it for a decent price, they have no shipping information as to how much it is worldwide. This really is a low point in nvidias customer service. >.< I'll have to buy a soldering iron and solder to do this, raising the price to something like 70€ in total. Meh.

Hello
What about glasses stand alone? I see that everyone has infrared adapter and what really connect to the computer via USB, is the device that finally controls the flicker of the glasses. In my case (and I guess that many) only have a wired (not wireless) pair of glasses which are directly connected to the USB port. Does anyone know if the software, Protocol and commands are same that serve to control the infrared emitter? I am working on a Windows project to run these sunglasses exclusively by software, in combination with OpenGL, to visualize pictures in 3D. The OpenGL part works fine to me . I have ported to OpenGL-ES and work in PADs and Android Phones. I only need to initialize the glasses and send them periodically the orders of on/off each cristal.

The glasses are: http:www.nvidia.comobjectproduct-geforce-3d- ... es-us.html

Thank you in advance

Can somebody compile a windows 7 32bit version? Thank you.

How fix pegging one of CPU's at 100% ?

Hello Guys,
I try to compile this old code of that 3D Vision Activator.
I'm proud so far, that I managed all dependencies and lifted the code up from SFML 1.6 to the modern 2.6.1 .
The app renders a cube in OpenGL to an Offscreen buffer, and then shows left and right view to the Onscreen window.
Crazy thing is, I have a strange distortion of the cube, and I can't tell where it comes from.
Does anyone have a clue on this?

EDIT:
Never mind. I found the problem in "glDrawArrays(GL_QUADS, 16, 24);" . Second value is not the last vertex, but the number of vertexes to draw.
24 vertexes would mean to draw vertexes, that are not defined.
So it should be "glDrawArrays(GL_QUADS, 8, 8);" and "glDrawArrays(GL_QUADS, 16, 8);" if you want to draw 2 quads with the same color.
