Change Discover 3D Colors to Red/Blue ?
  1 / 2    
I found out that the colors can be changed from the registry to any of three color combination, but I have red/blue (different than red/cyan) glasses, I need to change the color combination to Red/Blue combination to suit my glasses. Thanks in advance.

Nvidia uses red/blue, everyone else uses red/cyan. http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-discover-faq.html Q: How are 3D Vision Discover glasses different than standard anaglyph red/blue glasses? A: The 3D Vision Discover glasses are NVIDIA custom designed anaglyph red/blue glasses, with optimized lens filters to maximize the stereoscopic 3D effect. These filters are calibrated to enable stereoscopic 3D on any desktop display while using the GeForce GPU’s programmable shaders for real-time color processing. This solution achieves the high quality anaglyph 3D available by retaining as much color fidelity as possible while eliminating ghosting, completely immersing you in the experience.

First you have to start your favorite 3D-game. then you have to switch with Alt+Tab to the desktop.<br>
Then you should have a registry file(*.reg) like this:<br>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br>
<br>
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\Stereo3D]<br>
"StereoAnaglyphType"=dword:00000000<br>
"LeftAnaglyphFilter"=dword:ffffff00<br>
"RightAnaglyphFilter"=dword:ff0000ff
<br>
You have to write this settings to the registry(doubleclick the *.reg file).<br>
Then switch with ALT+Tab back to the game and it should be Yellow/Blue Anaglyph.<br>
<br>
The StereoAnaglyphType brings back the "full" color.<br>
And Left and RightAnaglyphFilter specifies the color of the glasses.<br>
<br>
"StereoAnaglyphType"=dword:00000000 = Full color<br>
"StereoAnaglyphType"=dword:00000001 = 3D Vision Discover Colors(half color with green/yellow tint)<br>
"StereoAnaglyphType"=dword:00000002 = black and white(greyscale)<br>
<br>
"LeftAnaglyphFilter"=dword:ffffff00<br>
"RightAnaglyphFilter"=dword:ff0000ff = Yellow/Blue<br>
<br>
"LeftAnaglyphFilter"=dword:ffff00ff<br>
"RightAnaglyphFilter"=dword:ff00ff00 = Magenta/Green<br>
<br>
"LeftAnaglyphFilter"=dword:ffff0000<br>
"RightAnaglyphFilter"=dword:ff00ffff = Red/Cyan

The Nvidia driver only supports exact this three color-combinations. If there are other colors given it simply switches back to Red/Cyan.<br>

Hmm, I enabled anaglyph on my 3D Vision monitor and it does look like it is red/cyan. Looking through my registry it is indeed ffoofff.(4278255615) Looks like the Nvidia FAQ is wrong.

Red/cyan is better than red/blue anyway. Red blue glasses will give very close to the same result with red/cyan algorithm as with a red/blue algorithm. Different optimization in the algorithms have greater impact on the quality (if one can talk quality and anaglyph).

If you look at the anaglyph wiki page, it has a chart comparing different implementations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_image

Red/Blue glasses were made for some older black/white-anaglyph-images in some old magazines. Later Red/Cyan glasses were used when anaglyph-images became "colored". Different colors are composed from the three light-colors Red,Green and Blue. So the three logical color combinations are Red(R)/Cyan(GB) Green(G)/Magenta(RB) and Yellow(RG)/Blue(B). With Red/Blue glasses there is no way to filter the Green to a specific eye. So you should allways use Red/Cyan or Green/Magenta with 3D-Vision-Discover(I hope the old registry-trick still works for Green/Magenta). Yellow/Blue glasses are very dark and don't work well.

If I can't make it absolutely Red/Blue, Is there anyway to make it work with Red/Blue with less ghosting ?

I tried to find registry values like is showing for nvidia (ffoofff), but the HTML color code charts are the only thing I could find. http://www.webmastercourse.com/articles/html-color-codes-part2/

[quote="Mohamed_Essam"]If I can't make it absolutely Red/Blue, Is there anyway to make it work with Red/Blue with less ghosting ?[/quote]Short answer: Your glasses doesn't match the colors of the subpixels of your monitor or, your glasses doesn't filter well enough. You can often tinker a bit with the displaysettings to make it somewhat better.

to my 3d fan brothers.....I think I found an idea almost eliminate ghosting... I did it and found no ghosting in games even in 3d vision player to watch movies.. . . . what I did, I wear a anaglyph red cyan glass plastic made and played game crisis 3 found cool and awesome stereoscopic effect,but found ghosting in game. now here is the trick:- I wear another anaglyph red cyan glass paper made on glass which I already wear. I mean glass over the glass...and ghosting .....Gonna..... you all find this crazy...but its true.....believe me and try it.....than post your comments. thanks

[quote="dixit017"]... I wear another anaglyph red cyan glass paper made on glass which I already wear. I mean glass over the glass...and ghosting .....Gonna.....[/quote] Surely that works. But the darker the glasses, the stronger will be the eye-strain. You shouldn't play too long with this method. Some better Red/Cyan-Glasses made of thick plastic were my choice in those times. I'm lucky, I switched to 3D-Vision-Shutters when the temperature killed the two 8800GTX 4 years ago. :)

What kind of glasswe you were using at that time. can you send me photo of it. also how's the result of 3d vision.because I m planning to change my display with 3d vision certified display with complete kit.
