• In case these were made by manually changing the POV, this could have been accomplished much more easily [and in realtime] by using NVIDIA's stereoscopic drivers. Lots of information on this subject can be found at Stereovision.net and their forums.

• Would be nice if people would star using polarized 3D like they use at IMAX. Lot easier on the eyes and they pop out a lot more life like.

• Uncle_Mantis, it's impossible to use a monitor (CRT, LCD, whatever) to display a polarized 3D image. It's also impossible to produce a printed image that way. Those 3D IMAXes work by projecting 2 images from 2 sources onto the same screen.

  What a computer can do is strobe back and forth between the two perspectives and you wear synched goggles that alternately blank out your eyes. This tech works very well and I don't know why it's not common in mainstream games.

  Bugmenot, I'll have to look into that. I have and ATI card, but that's probably worth buying an NVidia card, at least for me. The game would be hard to play in a red-blue anaglyph but it would be fun to experiment with in real time.
