E: Where I can read more about 3D buffering and what sync device and screen do you plan to use?

All tested with Depth value of 25

Fallout4 DM 10 and DM 6
Resident Evil 7 DM 12 and 21
Witcher 3 DM 20 and DM5
Wow what a difference it makes. I will be working on a New Config soon.
This sounds like another breakthrough, can't wait to try it, when might you release it?

You can try it now it's in the experimental folder.

It might be my imagination, but it also looks to have a slightly higher impact on frame-rate? I only lose a few FPS at any rate with your shaders, so no big deal, and I'm not going to do a comprehensive test since it runs great. In fact, your shader runs so well you could probably sacrifice some further speed for better results if you ever decided to do so (and if that's possible).

I still need to optimize a little bit. 1.9.5 Give a nice 3D image as it is right now and I think the fps loss comes from the full resolution depth maps.

Hey, I donated you again ! awesome improvement
For fallout 4 do we still need weapon depth view with 1.9.5 ? WDM 4 ? I want to make profiles for my other games, Need For Speed Rivals, BladeStorm Nightmare, they will look even better !
This is what it look like, should I make other games look the same like this ?

Power armor will not work in since the depth map is cleared pass the visor. I played my Fallout4 game with power armor.

So using the armor not to use the dual view ?

Sorry I had a typo I did mean to say I did not play with power armor. I played as a sneaky Sniper most of the game.

It definitely seems to work well this way. If the tradeoff is a few fps then IMHO it is well worth it. (Alternatively, if you could always have a "fast" version and a "quality" version or have a setting to toggle the use of a full-resolution depth map in the ReShade settings).
Also I finally put-up a "Stereoscopic Resources" mod (not really a mod obviously) at the Fallout 4 Nexus with a halfway-decent ReadMe file and links to your shader (plus a couple other solutions).
www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/21902/ ?
A couple videos are there in the "Videos" section showing your shader at work, but unfortunately YouTube utterly destroys their quality and I can't seem to do anything about it. The results look pretty bad, but that's the fault of YouTube.
And for those wanting Power Armor to work better (this tip is included in the ReadMe I just posted at the Nexus): You can use a mod that removes the Power Armor Transparency and / or adds clear dials and / or you can use a mod to toggle the Power Armor HUD on and off completely. That's what I do and you still lose some of the depth but it's much nicer than looking at the distorted view you get through the vanilla Power Armor HUD. Try: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3106/ ? (the transparent dials are available under optional downloads on the mod's page. Install the main mod, then install the transparent dials option).
You end up with this (actually, I also moved mine down the screen just a few pixels to get as much of it off the screen as possible, you can find ini tweaks for moving and scaling the PA HUD if you Google it):

Yeah, it's the same with the windshield in GTA 5 and a various number of racing games

Ya I can put out a guide. But, when it's done. I am Still tuning the shader.
But, so you know I don't know what eye you want to use each Depth map on. I don't think it matters if you have 20/20 vision.
Maybe if you have a weaker eye you can use the stronger depth map on that one and the lighter one on your better eye.

I am still working on it. But, I don't think it possible if your game fall bellow a stable FPS. This problem happens because I can't buffer. But, I still need to do more testing.
I am trying. But, the out look for it is low.

when using the Dual View map the screen in some games splitting to half and I can really see the Depth View, I can't calibrate because can't see much of the screen or the characters.

When in custom depth map mode you only see one depth map.
If you want to use the same depth map just set both depth to the same value.

So I own a Wii U and A few games. Now I find out about Cemu and wondered if i can run reshade on it and my shader with it. Sure enough.... it works in fullscreen mode.
Only game I tested was Twilight Princess HD.
Custom_Depth_Map=4.000000
Near_Far=100.000000,2.250000
I will be adding this depth map to 1.9.5
I been slow in updating 1.9.5 because RL Issues. But, It's some good news that we can play WII U games.


And since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U) coming out for the Wii U lets Hope the emulator works for it.

Yes, it work with Super Mario world (this only in windowed Mode), Wind Waker, Donkey Kong Tropical freeze and Mario Kart WiiU too.
PPSSPP works too, i tested Outrun, Wipeout (both pure and pulse), Daxter, God of War COF, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and they all have deptmap, but you must manually set insane Depth Map Enhancement value (for example 100000000), but not all games have depthmap, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Ridge Racer 1&2, Motorstorm dont have depthmap
