Edit: I took the *ini files from my backup and - I have no Idea why - its working now. Good Idea to have a backup when updating..

 

The ini file must have corrupted somehow?. Thanks for the warning, i'll keep a local copy handy as well as the one in backups.

[OffTopic] Has anyone tried some of the million shaders, running with reshade? Some of them might be fitting for VPX.

Just a few years left I hope:

Btw, does reshade anaglyph work with PinballFX (2)?

Yes, have tried a few. I like the HDR shader to brighten up the image and also monochrome shader for black and white.

Good to see this tech is finally advancing from the smaller screens. One question though is whether or not it is compatible with vertical orientation yet? I wonder how closely the various pinball manufacturers are watching this evolve and whether Looking Glass have been approached about this particular usage.

Edit: I've sent Looking Glass a few emails with some ideas regarding both the possiblity of a full size vertical playfield screen but also a tip that their small 7 inch vertical screens could perhaps be used under the playfield in a regular pinball table to mimic a similar effect to Creature from the black lagoon table, but with fully animated holographic video.

Part of their response mentioned that the larger landscape screens do not work in portrait orientation, however the 7" screen is designed for this orientation.

Btw, does reshade anaglyph work with PinballFX (2)?

I don't see why it wouldn't work although I haven't tried it (can't at the moment as my discrete video card is dead in my laptop). Just need to confirm what API it uses but I think it is DX9 according to this https://www.sysrequi...ame/pinball-fx2

Not tried any other shaders yet. 

@Gravy - you can get black and white by using just the superdepth3d shader (set anaglyph desaturation to 0,  the middle option in the values below the 3D Display Modes selection)

[mistermixer]

Thanx for this new (?) feature !  The tables have to be tweaked a bit so

gonna test with some LUT's to brighten some tables ( some are a bit to dark now)

 

Really love this 3D effect in the cabinet !

Ah, good spotting. That will likely help save a couple of frames rather than using the monochrome shader (although monochrome probably offers a wider range of options).

Be sure to try the Reshade/Superdepth3D method if you havent already. It gives better results than inbuilt 3D (at the expense of frame rate). Tutorial on first page of this thread.

I do not know how I ended up in this thread but big big thanks!  

I have tested following the tutorial from the first page and with a blue/red anaglyph glass, I find it just amazing on my borderless pincab and cannot play without this now! 

It looks like playing on a real thing! I used ''blue/cyan dubois'' which gives me the best results despite the loss of colors, all turning yellow. 

Even if the results are great, I intend to purchase the amber/blue and red/cyan glasses from 3Dstereo.com refered in previous posts to check if the results are better!

thanks a lot!

I lean towards anachrome mode as tends to give a wider colour range. I intend to get some proper anachrome glasses that have the inbuilt diopter on the red lens but the mode works ok with regular cyan/red glasses.

Good luck
I got 3 pairs, swear they have diopter correction
Dont have squat.
Does still work decently with normal cyan/red lenses though.

Some of it is hit and miss simply based on the table's art and color composition
Some stuff just doesnt lend well to anaglyph 3d, some tables work real well though.

Which company did you buy through? Did you get the aviator style from Ultimate3Dheaven.com ?? I have noticed they have ordering weirdness about their anachrome aviators, they seem to have 3 different product codes for the glasses. Two of the products are accessible via their site menu (they look the same), but the third pair (advertised with diopter) only seems accessible if you find it on their site via a google search. There seems no way to access the pair with diopter via their menu system.

[wiesshund]

tried 3 different places

One was these
Anachrome Originals (ultimate3dheaven.com)

They are the ones which seem to be unreachable via their website menu system but can find the page via Google or direct link, a bit odd eh.

The diopter on anachrome red lens is only meant to be about 1/2+ so it may be quite hard to notice the magnification?

You dont see it so much as magnification as you see it as a condensation of the red which likes to normally diffuse itself
except they look identical to the pair of plain cyan/red glasses

Do you think they are better/equal/worse than regular cyan/red glasses?

[wiesshund]

they seemed exactly the same to me.

I use Fake HDR and Glamarye Fast effects shader. Fake HDR pushes up the colors and brightness, the shader is clearing and sharpening the picture with "intelligend sharpening". -> sometimes I add deeph3D of course.. :-)

[topper2k]

I'm just starting to dip my toe into 3D with a pair of amber/blue anaglyph glasses and reshader. 

 

Is there a relatively simple way to boost brightness when I switch into 3d mode? I don't want to lighten the tables all the time, only when I'm playing in 3d.

 

Thanks.
