Kirstens Viewer Update with Anaglyph 3D

Back in 2011, Kirstens Viewer for Second Life added an Anaglyph 3D view capability which could be seen with red/cyan 3D glasses. See this blog post. It was updated to the latest Second Life features in 2017. See this further blog post.

Kirstens Viewer has now been updated (10-April-2020 r1290) by Kirstenlee Cinquetti to use the very latest Linden Lab viewer code and includes experimental or development features such as Legacy Profiles. A fix for some issues (see below) was released on 12-April-2020 (r1300). Kirstens Viewer S23 6.23.1328 with 64-bit with other enhancements was released on 20-April-2020. Check on the latest developments as other updates have since been made, such as adding EEP support.

You can download the latest version of the viewer (32-bit Windows .exe only) using the “Download Now” link on Kirstenlee’s blog page… in the left hand column scroll to the bottom…

Click on any of the images below to see the full resolution version, make it full screen and view with Red/Cyan 3D glasses…

Toggle the 3D anaglyph view on or off via Preferences – Graphics – Toggle Anaglyph Render or via Preferences – S22 Features…

Issues (Both fixed in r1300)

3D anaglyph mode needs to be off before login. If it is left on and you stop and restart the viewer it does not enter Second Life. You can start the viewer and toggle 3D anaglyph off in Preferences – S22 Features before logging in. A fix at Commit r1294 addresses this by always forcing stereo mode off before logging in. It looks like this if it sticks…

Also, when the Graphics settings for water reflection are turned on for anything other than “Minimal” artifacts appear in a small rectangle on the lower left corner of the screen…
