yes it is quite frequently asked around the forum, but i really want to know how to enable the Splitscreen (Stereoscopic) in Debug mode.
As you can read here Integrating the Oculus Rift into Unreal Engine 4
there is a direct solution for having a side by side view. So if i know how to find this debug setting, i would use it not for debugging but for the 3D Beamer i got.
I guess this would also help to solve any questions similar to this.
So please, where is it, where can we activate the dummy device ?
Thanks in Advance and greetings
Ah yes i remember that command line.But that only gave me command not recognized.
Is there something i have to enable or to do before i can activate the command line ?
It is a Red Cyan test, because i have no software/hardware at home to test out if the shutter glasses will work. The projector will use it for the shutter technology.
The problem for now is that i don´t know how to build a blueprint pawn that has the camera for the Player one and the Player two so that the player one controlls the movement, and player two is only simulated to get the stereoscopic. If the other stereo mode can also simulate two “eyes” i won´t need to do this trick. The problem is that two exact the same pictures will not produce the 3D effect.
So if someone knows how to setup a “master” player blueprint and a “slave” second player to have the second eye or even better, to create a splitscreen with other methods for just one player please let me know.
@anonymous_user_9c39f750 mods, i guess its not VR then but i thought it fits in because i need a simliar approach to simulate two eyes like the occulus does (?).
Hm so finally i can approve it works, it is 3D (Side by Side effect). Objects can float out of the screen and so on, it looks amazing. The only downside is that the resolution is half of Full HD for each eye and i can´t set up the right aspect ratio for each eye so the final image is stretched and jittery. Hm. Just as i said, i don´t know if the debug stereo effect would solve that. I will try to find a solution, and ask again later.
How exactly did you get the red cyan test working? Would you mind laying it out step-by-step? I am trying to get stereoscopic 3D (with a 3D HDTV and glasses) working in UE4 and am having trouble. Thank you in advance for the help!
Tridef 6.3 works for me. I have it set to output side-by-side to a 3DTV.
package the game
add the game .EXE to Tridef Ignition launcher and assign the generic profile
launch the game and enter full screen
disable Power 3D (Alt+Shift+F1 by default)
bring up the OSD (Num 0 by default, but I had to reassign the OSD keys - I think UE4 default keyboard controller has those keys bound)
switch left-right views
save the profile - as you add new UE4 games, you can start with this profile (you’ll still need to disable Power 3D the first time)
I was pleasantly surprised that it works with all the bells and whistles (everything on EPIC quality). Shadows and lighting can look very slightly off at times, so it’s not perfect. Unfortunately, I lose about 40% performance and my 2nd GPU is ignored.
(With 3D Vision, the second GPU is used and the performance doesn’t drop, but shadows and lighting are way off. Setting shadow quality to 0 makes it better, but you lose too much eye candy.)
@Melliferus , i used a Stereoscopic test program. Unfortunately can´t remember how it was called and its removed on my system. If you are interested in this, i will send you a pm with the link.
@joe.real thank you for your small tutorial. I will get a look on this
So i finally found out how to do the -emulatestereo.
Anyway, its easy, so please tell anyone about this if they are asking about this topic.
You pack your game and than you create a link to your packed .exe. Then you ad -emulatestereo in the line like shown into the picture. It might even work to set this in the command line at this point. And THIS is the command line that was talked about.
It was just misleading for me. And maybe for others too.
I tested it out today, and it was 3D - but it was too much. The offset of the virtual eye pair seems to be to high. Is there a way to fix this ? @Mods I don´t know if this topic has to be moved to another part of the forum from now on ?
Wow. When I tried this a month ago after reading JJ’s response, I was getting some D3D error on startup and it didn’t work. Just tried it again with a new build after reading your post, and it’s indeed working - I think.
The crazy FOV isn’t appropriate for the 3DTV. Normal “fov” console command doesn’t change it. I also didn’t get much sense of depth, so I too would like to know how depth and convergence, as well as FOV, can be adjusted. The console is not stereoized. Also, I have LPV enabled, and I think I’m getting indirect lighting rendered only in the left eye. The framerate is about the same as what I was getting with Tridef.
I have a DK2 on order, and I can’t wait to try this - with that FOV, I can only imagine how immersive it would be.
