TriDef 3d is an application that allows 3d conversion of video games and multimedia files. TriDef recently added Beta functionality which allows it to work with the Oculus Rift Development Kit. This document is going to be primarily used to keep track of the specific games that are compatible with the Beta version of TriDef 3d.

Tridef 3D is currently the best third-party driver to run non-Rift-compatible with Rift. I have a post [http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/1joviq/working_tridef_3d_profile_settings/ here] where there are settings for values I use, but I've noticed that those values might for some reason change when restarting the game. And because of people's different kind of FOVs, IPDs and mouse sensitivities many of these values are wrong. That's why I made a little step-by-step tutorial for you to set up everything by yourself.

# Open up Tridef. If your game is not on the list, add it. Make a new profile for it unless there is already one.
+
==Issues fixed==
−
# Open the game through Tridef.
 
−
# Continue/load/start the game, find yourself a spot where you can idle. (Do not wear Rift yet)
 
−
# Open up the game's settings and change mouse sensitivity to something you like (I recommend slow because of Rift, but not too slow so you can make >90 degree turns). Turn V-sync and mouse acceleration off.
 
−
# If available, adjust fov the biggest you can get. This way objects should not disappear from the edges of your vision.
 
−
# Open OSD by pressing numpad 0
 
−
# Put Rift on, go to HMD settings and change "Force FOV" to "both", then adjust "Output fov" so that you can't anymore see the black edges when looking forwards. (110-120 works usually for me)
 
−
# Adjust "Game fov" so that it doesn't look like zoomed in (fov too small) or weird warping at the edges of your vision (fov too big).
 
−
# Roll your head. If the game world seems to squish, find "Image Stretch" and set it to 0 (Fallout 3 is the only game I've encountered this).
 
−
# Take Rift off and go to head-tracking settings. Set yaw and pitch to "on" and auto-detect "off".
 
−
# Keep your Rift straight forward, then turn it 90 degrees to left or right.
 
−
# Look at the game. If your character has turned over 90 degrees, make "Yaw scale" bigger and if less than 90 then make it smaller.
 
−
# Put Rift facing forward again. Then turn it left and right to test the head-tracking is correct.
 
−
# Then look all the way up and all the way down with Rift. Adjust "Pitch scale" so that in-game up-down is 1:1 with Rift moving up and down.
 
−
# Go to 3D settings and check that "Depth level" is 30, then go back to HMD settings.
 
−
# This is a tricky part. Adjust "World scale" so that the world feels right. With too big values everything looks too small/too close.
 
−
# "OSD depth" is usually good in 0.0-0.10, try yourself if the game has a crosshair. "Output quality" is best as "High".
 
−
# Yaw and Pitch scales reset when you restart the game. You should write them down.

Hopefully we get some updates to Tridef 3D (or even VorpX!) and after that things would get little easier.

Key points

No longer available or under active development. The information displayed here is for historical reference — expect compatibility with modern games and operating systems to be low.
Allows stereoscopic conversion of video games and multimedia files.

Step-by-step tutorial
List of working profile settings

Issues fixed

Can't use mouse for the whole screen

Change the games resolution to 1280x800

Can't see the game's HUD or UI

Enable Safe Mode by pressing + on the Numpad[citation needed]

Notes

You can change the FoV from the OSD settings.
Look for game-specific mod

Game doesn't start in Rift Mode

Enable DirectX 9 from settings[citation needed]
  1. Enable DirectX 9 in the settings of the game.
  2. Restart the game.
Enable DirectX 9 with launch command[citation needed]
  1. Right-click the game in your Steam library.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Select Set Launch Options....
  4. Input -dx9

Notes

Some games only run in DirectX 10 or higher, and thus can't be played with TriDef and the Oculus Rift.

View squished when rolling head

Change the aspect ratio of the game to 16:10[citation needed]
  • The resolution 1280x800 is usually a safe choice.
Change the "Image Stretch" in the OSD settings to 0

No head-tracking or roll

Check correct wire position and if other programs are using the Rift[citation needed]

Notes

Roll doesn't work in a couple games.

The below is an incomplete list, potentially better moved over to the game-specific articles.
Game Status TriDef Settings Used Comment System Spec. Used
Aliens vs. Predator Playable Game FOV=90
Output FOV=90 		X-axis tracking inverted, adjust x-axis calc by 1000 in opposite direction. Game FOV forced at 90 causes some distortions at the sides when looking around. i7 3770
GTX 580
W7x64
ARMA II Operation Arrowhead Playable hmd world depth:0.00 TriDef / Game Instructions: Turn Off headtracking, Use Opentrack / FreePIE to emulate Rift → TrackIR, Enable TrackIR as a controller through game

Tridef -> HMD Settings -> World Scale 0.03, Tridef -> HMD Settings -> Headtracking -> All Off, Tridef -> HMD Settings -> Force FOV -> Both, Tridef -> HMD Settings -> Output -> 97 (or however much it takes so no black borders)

Tridef -> HMD Settings -> Game -> 110, Tridef -> 3D -> Scene Depth -> 30 (as it always should be)!

i7
GTX 650
BioShock Very playable Generic Game Settings: Scene Depth: 30 (As Always) World Scale: 40 Head Tracking: On Auto Scale Pitch / Yaw: Off Pitch: -400 Yaw: -400 Force FOV: Both (or alternatively see below). Output: 90 (or until you cannot see black borders) Game: 100 (Feel free to change this one as you see comfortable)

Bioshock Settings: Steam Launch Condition -dx9. Turn off shadows. Note: You can also set the proper UDK FOV by: -Open %APPDATA%\Bioshock\user.ini and don't forget to backup -Search for first F6=EquipAbility6 F7=ResetFOV F10=SetFOV 70 F11=SetFOV 120

GTX 780
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Very playable i7 3770

Output FOV=88 		Some distortions around the edges, getting FOV acceptable makes textures on the sides jumpy Phenom II x4 965
GTX 780
Crysis Very playable Crysis profile

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Playable TES Skyrim profile
Game FOV=98

GTX 680
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Very playable TES Skyrim profile
Game FOV=110
Output FOV=110
World scale=3 		Can't see HUD and menus & inventory is hard to navigate. Can be fixed with mods. Head-tracking seems to have some latency issues. i5

The Elder Scrolls Online Playable Generic profile
Game FOV=90
World scale=0.06 		Maximize HUD scale in game settings. To force DX9 set GraphicsDriver.7 "D3D9" in "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\UserSettings.txt". No true fullscreen, used 1280x800 and 1920x1200 desktop modes, in latter case set "Desktop res" in tridef 3D display settings. HUD is barely visible, sky rendering and water reflections are broken.

Rayman Legends Playable Playable in standard FOV but bigger FOV (which you kinda want for this game) means geometry/textures missing in areas of peripheral vision) Fx 8150
GTX 680
Receiver Don’t bother Generic Scale is all off, tried correcting it and got kinda close but the gun only shows in one eye.
Red Orchestra 2 Playable Can't see menus, map, hud or anything else. Shooting enemies far away can be hard. Recognizing enemies is hard with low resolution. Shadows doesn't work. i5
