[SOLVED] Rendering a scene in stereoscopic 3D

[Davacas]

Hello, everyone!

I’m trying to render a scene using stereoscopic 3D. A friend of mine recommended me the SofaStereo plugin for this purpose, so I downloaded and compiled SOFA version 20.06.01, since apparently it is the last version to include the plugin.

I had some trouble compiling this SOFA version with the plugin. For example, the CMakeLists file for the plugin still uses some deprecated functions, so I changed them manually. Then, during compilation, an error message saying that the SofaBase.lib, SofaGeneral.lib and SofaTest.lib couldn’t be opened, so I manually copied these missing DLL files from a version I had previously compiled successfully and then compiled this version again.

When I finally got this SOFA version running, I tried to run the .scn example files for the SofaStereo plugin, but they generated some warnings, so I also fixed them manually.

Now I can finally run the examples with no warnings on screen, but there isn’t a stereoscopic effect, just a normal render, as if the plugin wasn’t working, and I can’t find any documentation for the plugin anywhere.

What could be happening? Maybe one of my manual “fixes” broke something? Or perhaps there is a more modern approach to achieve a stereoscopic 3D rendering?

Thanks in advance!

I solved it! I found that I need to use QtViewer to use this plugin because it inherits from InteractiveCamera, so I just changed the viewer to Qt with the -gqt flag and it worked.

I’m marking the issue as solved. Thank you!
