Stereo Parameters

Stereo Mode

Users can enable stereo mode and choose whether to use off-axis or parallel stereo camera projections.

Stereo Output

This specifies the output rendered in stereo.

• Left: Render only the image for the left eye
• Right: Render only the image for the right eye
• Side-by-side: Renders the scene as a pair of two-dimensional images
• Anaglyphic: When active, the render will be able to be viewed with Red / Blue 3D glasses
• Over-under: The pair of two dimensional images is placed one above the other for special viewers

Eye Distance

This is the distance between the left and the right eye in stereo mode, measured in meters. The stereo distance is also referred to the IPD (inter pupillary distance) and is frequently exchanged with terms like ‘stereo interocular distance’ or ‘Eye Distance’. For realistic depth, use values between 0.055 and 0.075.

Swap Eye

Swaps the left and right eye images.

Left/Right Filter

The left and right filter colors are used to adjust the colors for the anaglyphic stereo affect in the render.
