Great Day for DLP3D, Plasma3D, and Native Display Profiles

A couple of newsworthy items from yesterday.

First and foremost, I just wanted to draw some addtional attention to efforts of one of our fellow board members. CarlKenner started a thread last week announcing that he was adding native 3d support to an opensource game called Assault Cube. http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1070

He has done an extraordinary job of doing just that and has created the first playable game that I am aware of that offers native DLP3D Support, as well as support for over a dozen other display formats. I hate to repeat myself, but GREAT JOB! I think we should follow Neils suggestion in the following thread and create an open source category in the Developers Corner.

Hopefully we can attract others with CarlKenner's talent to join in and create a full selection of stereo enabled open source games.

Secondly, Tridef has released a new set of drivers yesterday! 3DPlasma support has been added to this driver revision which gives us "couch driven" gamers more choices (Yeah for that!). They have also added support for a few new games including Bioshock, NFS Prostreet, Halo2, and FSX! I can finally play Bioshock after buying the game months ago! I played about 10 minutes of the game when i first bought it and put it on the shelf waiting for S3D Support. Guess I know what i will be doing this weekend.

Is the "3DPlasma" the one that Samsung announced during CES? Can you tell from the driver, what kind of stereoscopic display technology it will be using? Pageflipping?

DLP 3D uses checkerboard because of fundamental 'wobulate' characteristics of TI's DLP chip. Plasma HDTV's doesn't do that as far as I know.

Very good question on the format being used. I have no idea and can't tell anything from the drivers. I haven't found any info on the internet either.
