3D Viewing at GFDL
- Create your scene in IRIS Explorer and save it as an Inventor (".iv")
file.
- Log onto the IRIX machine found in the Visualization Lab, room 104.
(see Hans or Remik if you don't have an account.)
- Enable stereo 3D by executing the following at the shell prompt:
/usr/gfx/setmon -n 1024x768_96s
This may alter your default screen resolution, but its the greatest resolution we currently support for 3D.
- Put on the CrystalEyes3 eyewear (they will automatically turn on).
(See Hans or Remik to obtain a pair.)
Figure 1. CrystalEyes3 Eyewear
- On top of the SGI monitor is a transmitter box. Flip the rear switch
upwards.
- Open up SceneViewer to view your file. For example,
SceneViewer /usr/share/data/models/sgi/logo.iv
- Once your file is open, right-click anywhere within the main window and
select "Preferences...". Press the button labeled "Stereo Viewing" and
enjoy.
Figure 2. SceneViewer 3D Setup
- When done viewing, flip the rear transmitter switch to its neutral (middle)
position, and fold the CrystalEyes3 eyewear (this will turn them off).
You may now logoff. If you wish to continue working, then restore the
screen resolution with the command:
/usr/gfx/setmon -n 1920x1200_66
Other modes (screen resolutions) may be found in /usr/gfx/ucode/KONA/dg4.
