Feature Request: Anaglyphic Rendering

Post by Wolfgke »

My personal "christmas wish" :wink: for the Irrlicht Engine is the ability for anaglyphic rendering. Perhaps you think: Anaglyphic? Whats that?
You probably know those red/green (or red/blue) pictures that look 3D if you watch them with red/green (or red/blue) glasses. They are called "anaglyphs" as foreign word (that sounds a lot more scientific :wink: ).

My wish is that Irrlicht would be able to render such pictures. I do know many good open source 3D engines, but I don't know any that are able to do such things.

That would make Irrlicht to something really singular.

Because I believe that those people who create code for Irrlicht could need some "little" help, here are 2 pages that I found in the Internet:

http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/opengl/redblue/
http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/s ... reorender/

The first one even contains a working code for that.

What do you think of that idea?

Would be funny :) Someone already had this idea before, and modified Irrlicht to be able to render scenes in this way, and sent me some screenshots of it. Was quite fun, and he said that it wasn't very difficult.
