Hi People,
does anyone have experience with this Laptop? Running Frameforge 3 (stereo)?
It has a 120Hz Screen and Nvidia shutter glasses for stereo.
It runs MS Windows 7Home Premium 64bit.
Best Regards,
Simon
PS happy new year, everyone...

No but it sounds pretty cool. The big question is, does it support quad-buffering or is it only nVidia's 3D Vision which doesn't currently (at least last I knew) allow a program to control the stereo but does it all itself at the driver level which means it is useless for anything other than gaming.
Do you have a link to more information? |

Hi Guys, just a couple of further questions... because I want to do 3 things:
1: be able to use lots of Sketchup objects in FF without being reduced to a crawl, AND
2: Use the lighting possibilities to the max.
3: I want to export left and right images with DoF-rendering as BIG as I can (1080 Pixels high and bigger) so I can edit the images using fotoshop.

Do I need quad buffering just to see the stereo image in FF?
Quad would be better for jaggies. But would it be better for depth of field rendering?
Would it be better for lighting?

Here are some links...

I guess you are not going to be able to give me all the answers, but any feedback would be appreciated.
Best Regards,

Sounds like you want a real computer with a VERY hefty professional graphics card with GBs of RAM on the GPU. Seriously.
1: SketchUp objects can be great or they can be deadly, depending on how they were created and how many polygons they have. Somewhere in SketchUp (and I can never remember quite where) is an option to specify how smooth an object is saved as. This is used to define how many polygons it has when dividing it into smooth surfaces and the more smooth you make it, the MORE polygons it will use and the slower the model will be.
2: Nothing stopping you from doing that if you have a HIGH POWERED graphics card with a LOT of RAM...
3: You're talking about getting into Pixar Level rendering and while the program can do that, it's going to take a LOT of time to do DOF with large files, especially in Stereo. And by LOTS of time I mean several to many minutes per frame of rendered output.

No, quad-buffering is just ONE of many formats designed for viewing & projecting polarized stereo images. And most DLPs do not support it, but use either side-by-side (compressed) or checkerboard, both of which FrameForge does natively. The one advantage of quad-buffering is that it's full-res versus the other formats which are 1/2 res per eye.

Sadly this computer is a gaming computer and -- until Nvidia decides otherwise -- does NOT give stereo control to ANY program but rather makes all the stereo "decisions" itself in the graphics card with only general broad "guidance" from software. |
