A Blender Addon to assist you with 3D rendering for VR/3D Screens/3D Monitors. Currently Only Supports Full-SBS Image Rendering. Star ⭐ this repo so you will be notified when it is updated.
You can get yourself a copy from the Release section for Stable Downloads.
The settings are elementary. Set the Mode 2D/3D, you have to set 3D, I've added 2D for future update reasons
Resolution:
It is image Resolution.
Set Samples:
Your usual Render Samples.
IPD Value:
This is the tricky one. leave 65.0 if you do not understand the next line. IPD is the distance between your Pupil in millimeters. It is set to create an illusion of depth in the eyes.
Set Lens Type:
There are 3 options to set. 180v1, 180v2, FLAT. If you want 180 SBS render then choose either of these. If you want Diorama like 3D render choose FLAT
Environment Setup:
After clicking "Setup Camera" The addon will add 3 cameras on the origin. and the Left and Right cameras will be hidden in Viewport, no need to enable those. Do not change the Active Camera in the Scene. If you've changed, set the Active Camera to "Camera3D_L" in the "Camera3D" Collection. "Camera3D" is the main camera. You need to move this camera only, the other camera will follow its position.
Copy Camera Transform:
This option helps you copy the location of other cameras (need to select the Camera), so you do not need to set up the new 3D Cameras.
Camera3D helper:

You might ask?
what about Focal Length? Well the effect of Focal length can be studied here http://www.photographers-resource.co.uk/photography/3D/3D_stereo_base.htm I will add focal length change in later updates.
Just select 3D from the Settings, set your wanted resolutions etc. and Apply Settings. Next Setup camera. You can copy location of other cameras if you want. Render 🫀
