ioquake3

Update 2: The mailing list move is complete, archives are fully available now.

Update 1: The mailing list move is almost complete, archives remain to be moved because Dreamhost support isn’t done yet. But everyone who was subscribed should be resubscribed. Please refer to http://lists.ioquake.org/ for all inquiries regarding the discussion list now. The Discussion list is the only list that is moving for now.

The main discussion list is moving to lists.ioquake.org. Things are going as planned with this move, but are taking a little longer than expected. Expect another update when the move is complete.

With all the 3D frenzy for home entertainment systems going on, ioquake3 did not want to fall behind, so as of the latest SVN revision ioquake3 officially supports rendering of stereoscopic images. Actually, we’re not quite sure whether this works for quad buffer based rendering methods for shutter glasses as we lack the hardware (can someone give us a heads-up on this? Any SGI fanboys here?), but rendering of anaglyph images definitely does.

You need to have red-cyan glasses to view these images in their full glory. As always, the cvars and switches needed to turn on this new functionality can be found in the changes to the README. I have also written up an extensive information page about the techniques behind stereo rendering on ioquake3’s wiki to get you going on stereoscopic ioquake3.
