Now the default eye separation value is 0.10 (reasonable for games with 1 meter == 1 B.U.
The focallength used is the camera focal length (DOF settings). It allow you to even use different focal lengths for different scenes (good for UI)
In order to change it you can change the camera focal length or use Rasterizer.setFocalLength.
If you use the Rasterizer method it will use this value for all the cameras.
ToDo:
- Blenderplayer settings
- Update wiki documentation (any volunteer)?
* Note to stereo fans:
I don't have a real stereo environment to test it (other than cheap cyan-red glasses). If you can give it a try in a more robust system and report bugs or problems with BGE current system please let me know. I would be glad to help to make it work 100% by the time Blender 2.5 is out.
For the record, BGE is using the method known as 'parallel axis asymmetric frustum perspective projection'. This method is well documented here:

GLEW update to version 1.5.1 [11-03-08]
this opens room for Geometry Shader support.
* - Brecht, Campbell told me you did some local changes in order to make it right in Linux. I get to you in order to know what those changes are (or feel free to commit them directly)
[#19854] [bugfix] Fix for broken Rasterizer mouse functions
---
This patch fixes the embedded player's ability to control the mouse. For example, hiding and unhiding the mouse cursor
did not work in 2.5, nor could the mouse's position be controlled. This was because these parts still needed to be ported
to 2.5 window manager code.
- Generated and uploaded api docs - http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc
- Added Edit docs menu item & operators as discussed with Mindrones, Brecht, Stani & Letterip @ bconf, needs some web backend. python operator can aparently use xml/rpc to upload docstrings.
- Added operator invoke function - context.manager.invoke_props_popup(self.__operator__, event)
this calls a popup for invoke by default (which intern calls execute())
- Own recent commit to game framing applied to non-camera views too.
- v3d->persp is deprecated but still used in some places.
- Transforming strips could overlap 1 frame if moving them below frame 0
- Transforming overlapping strips could go into an eternal loop (though overlapping strips should not exist)
a system crash and other issues on ATI/Apple, due to a buggy driver
(similar issues reported for other OpenGL applications). For now, work
around it by not using non-power-of-two textures on this combination.
* bring back 'player' libtype, after investigation with ideasman.
scons/mingw works nicely, for some reason msvc fails to link still, will look further into it.
* further cleaning of 'player' stuff. Now only 3 libs are remaining, of which ideally the stubs lib will be fixed at some point, fading away into the dark history of not-so-nice code. The current blenderplayer part is still a little bit hackish, I'll see if I can find a better alternative, for now it works good enough.
* first working changes to get blenderplayer linking
* blenderplayer/ moved into source/ (CMakeLists.txt changed for that too)
* added externs for bprogname to gp_ghost, so that it links properly
* Add BGE_CXXFLAGS so we can get rid of hard-coded BGE compiler settings. This was only done for windows, but now linuxers and osxers should be able to set BGE-specific optimisation too. See the windows default configs for example.
* Added Shading and Performance panels in the scene buttons,
containing the options previously in the 2.4x game menu.
* Added show framerate/debug/physics/warnings back in game menu.
* Moved these settings from G.fileflags to scene GameData.
* Enabled Display Lists by default.
* Some other small game scene button tweaks.
missing commits from peter 20942, 21165, 21170, 21174, 21597
these files still need manual merging
source/blender/makesdna/DNA_sequence_types.h
source/blender/src/sequence.c
source/blender/src/seqeffects.c
source/blender/src/editseq.c
source/blender/include/BSE_sequence.h
* Clean up File menu, added back recover last session op.
* .blend compress now behaves a bit different, previously
it would only respect the user preference. Now it saves
existing files the same way they are saved, and new files
following the user preference. The save operator has a
Compress toggle in the file browser left panels now.
* Add menu working again, some fixes to make these operators
work outside the 3d view were needed.
* Timeline menu removed, its contents will be moved to the
timeline header menus.
* Game menu can now start game, changed the start game op
to choose another 3d view if none is available.
* Render menu has a few items now.
* Help menu contains a few links again.
(it's the 3rd commit in a row. But as they say, the 3rd is always a charm ;)
I still think we have a little mess with the DEFINE parameters in BGE (as in RAS_IRasterizer::StereoMode).
We used to have them duplicated and hardcoded in 2.4xx, but I think we can do it in another way now.
(I didn't change gameplayer, but I can do it once we have it linking and building properly)
Logic Panel:
- world settings (moved from world)
... that includes physic engine selection + gravity
- game player (from gamesettings, it wasn't wrapped)
- stereo/dome (from gamesettings, it wasn't wrapped)
... separated stereom into stereoflag and stereomode
- properties
... (didn't touch it)
Buttons Game Panel:
(wip panel)
- Physics (moved from Logic Panel)
... it will be a datablock in the future (right Campbell ?)
- Material Physics (not currently implemented)
... a datablock link to the materials of an object + the dynamic physic variables
* NOTE:
in readfile.c::do_version I couldn't do if(scene->world). There is something wrong with scenes with an unlinked world. So so far we are ignoring the old values....
* ensure all SConscripts are ready for win64-vc (where necessary).
* ensure we have proper _DEBUG flag for Python when we're doing a debug build.
* some cleaning up of linking etc.
* ensure /EHsc is there for game engine modules.
Make include to make GE compile.
Py 2.3 doesnt compile expressions/Value.cpp btw...
Value.cpp:616: error: 'class PyObjectPlus' has no member named 'ob_type'
Probably need to wait for py 3.1 :)
at the moment only files from blender 2.4x will display in 2.5x, compared area and window structs in both cases and dont see any differences.
This doesnt fix the problem but corrects a few things related to window drawing with the BGE,
also adds a hack because I noticed the window and area pointers in the KX_BlenderCanvas were offset after initialized, maybe need to use <static cast> ?
* removed radiosity render code, DNA and RNA (left in radio render pass options), we'll get GI to replace this probably, better allow baking to vertex colors for people who used this.
* removed deprecated solid physics library, sumo integrations and qhull, a dependency
* removed ODE, was no longer being build or supported
* remove BEOS and AMIGA defines and references in Makefiles.
* pressing P starts the BGE in the 3D view
* redraw window clipping isnt right
* BGE python api works in py3k (without __import__ override or Mathutils, BGL, Geometry)
* no events yet (so there is no way to exit)
* Missing changes to release/windows/installer
* Sequencer fixes in source/blender/src/seqaudio.c dont apply to 2.5
* brechts fix for #18855 r20763 wasnt merged, does this apply to 2.5?
