Oculus SDK and Stereoscopic Rendering Design
I'm pretty new to stereoscopic rendering but I'm wondering about something trying to implement the SDK. Since we need to render to a bigger render target than the backbuffer anyways, why is Oculus ...
Almost the second question: "Why do the Rift SDK samples render to one large 1280x800 * ~1.7 rendertarget instead of to one smaller 640x800 * ~1.7 rendertarget?"
After the first eye is rendered, you can just clear the one-eye rendertarget and redraw on it (the final backbuffer is a different rendertarget).
I guess this is not really an issue, just preference. In the meantime, I adapted the Oculus shader to work on a single-eye texture instead of the two-in-one texture.
I just think the whole setup is a little complicated and could be done in a more simple way, so that it's easier to understand.
