Release notes

Here you can find the release notes for Kanzi Stereoscopy.

0.10.0

• Kanzi Stereoscopy now works with Kanzi 3.9.3.

• Introduced the Stereoscopy Materials asset package that provides the materials that you need to compose stereoscopic content in your Kanzi application. See Setting up your Kanzi Studio project.

• Removed the Stereoscopic Draw Objects Render Pass. Instead, use the Draw Objects Render Pass to draw for each eye the content to which you want to apply stereoscopic rendering. See Rendering 3D content stereoscopically with a composition material and Rendering 3D content stereoscopically side-by-side.

• You can now apply anti-aliasing to the content that you render stereoscopically. See Applying anti-aliasing.

0.9.4

• Eye Separation and Focal Distance properties now affect rendering.

• Kanzi Stereoscopy now works with Kanzi 3.6.5.

0.9.3

• Kanzi Stereoscopy now works only with Kanzi 3.6.4.

0.9.2

• Kanzi Stereoscopy now works only with Kanzi 3.6.2.

• Added interlace Material Composition: Interlace Half-Height and Material Composition: Interlace Half-Width stereoscopy modes to reduce fillrate (GPU workload) by rendering left and right eye images in reduced resolution without quality loss.

• Renamed the stereoscopy modes. When you update Kanzi Stereoscopy in an existing project, the plugin automatically updates the stereoscopy modes in your project:

  • Left-Right to Side By Side: Left-Right

  • Right-Left to Side By Side: Right-Left

  • Top-Bottom (Left first) to Side By Side: Top-Bottom (Left on top)

  • Bottom-Top (Right first) to Side By Side: Top-Bottom (Right on top)

  • Use Composition Material to Material Composition: Full Resolution

• Renamed the composition materials in the assets directory:

  • Anaglyphic.kzmat to AnaglyphicComposition.kzmat

  • InterlaceHorizontal.kzmat to InterlaceHorizontalComposition.kzmat

  • InterlaceVertical.kzmat to InterlaceVerticalComposition.kzmat

• Adjusted the interlace materials so that they sample from left and right eye images from correct pixel columns and rows which creates a final image on the screen identical to the full resolution rendering without quality loss and with halved GPU fillrate workload.

• Fixed the issue which caused the InterlaceHorizontalComposition.kzmat and InterlaceVerticalComposition.kzmat materials to sample left and right eye rendered images from the same position, instead of sampling from the neighbor position for a fragment.

0.9.1

• Added side-by-side stereoscopy modes. See Rendering 3D content stereoscopically side-by-side.

• Added the Best practices section to the documentation. Use it to find out how to achieve the best stereoscopic result with Kanzi Stereoscopy. See Best practices.

• Changed the aspect ratio multiplier to Double Width Mode.

• Removed the ignore composition target aspect ratio.

• Added support for Windows x86 64-bit.

• Ported Kanzi Stereoscopy to Kanzi 3.6.1.

• Fixed the interlace shaders to consider alpha.

0.9.0

• Fixed the orthographic stereoscopic projection.

• Fixed layout stretching when using an orthographic camera with stereoscopic rendering.

• Fixed floating point precision in interlaced materials.
