[Bf-committers] Have the 3D View support 3D hardware?

[Torsten Mohr]

Hi,

i think the mouse cursor would also need to be 3D, e.g. using the mouse for 
two dimensions and the scroll wheel for the third?  Just a rough idea, not 
much though spent on it.  A 3D input device would be better.

Also, the distance of the two cameras (eye distance) would need to be 
changeable (or cleverly adapt to the scene?) to give a good 3D impression.

I agree, the camera should not get too close to objects (or also make the eye 
distance smaller?), the 3D effect would get really bad.

There are some things to think about, but yet not a k.o. for this feature.  I 
hope other people also get into the discussion.  Looking at objects in 3D, 
e.g. in "netfabb" gives a nice impression.


Best regards,
Torsten.
