Oculus Rift integrations into CryENGINE 3 FreeSDK.

It is definitely working - I only had a few minutes to spare earlier however I did download the SDK, run the demo and was able to get the double image with distortion. The image separation was however wrong, therefore the image through the rift was not aligned - the distortion was present though. The tracking was also not running however my warped image was my main curiosity when I did try it out. Will continue to work on this once I have some more free time!

Yes, I managed to get it working as well after modifying a system file. But It looks like the 1280x800 resolution is missing when I try to run the Forest demo. The closest one is 1280x720. And like you said, the eye separation is completely off.
I also highly doubt this will be a proper stereoscopic rendering with 2 cameras. It looks like they are still using that crappy post processing method using z-buffer to do fake 3D. I remember playing Crysis 2 with Nvidia 3D vision and the stereo was pretty bad because of this method with artefacts around the edges. You just can't fake a proper one camera per eye stereoscopic rendering.

Just my quick impression - I played a little around with this, and from crawling around the CryTek forums, I took r_stereoMode = 2 to mean post-processed stereoscopy whilst the value 1 would signify proper dual-camera rendering.

Both gave illegibly disorienting values when I tried it, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the forum comes up with. :)

It works well for me in CE 3.5.3
Great moving from CryTek

Can you please provide step by step details on how you got things to work? I have tried however the separation was to extreme as well I had no head tracking. Thanks in advance!

Yes, if you could guide us through the setup in detail, that would be awesome! I can't get the proper eye separation, my pitch tracking is inverted, "r_stereoMode = 1" doesn't work, so I'm really curious how you managed to get it working in proper stereo. Could you make a copy of your system.cfg file?

This is my setting. Hope this help!
r_stereomode = 2
r_stereoflipeyes = 1
r_stereoeyeDist = 0.2
sys_CurrentHMDType = 1
r_StereoOutput = 7
sys_hmd_reset_sensor

hmmmm - thanks for sharing! The tracking is now working however the image is still not correct through the rift?

Ok, I just read it on a crydev forum. Crytek has not offically announced a Rift support yet. Apparently the thread was done by a volunteer and does not reflect an official company statement.
