Glossary:TriDef 3D
TriDef 3d is an application that allows 3d conversion of video games and multimedia files. TriDef recently added Beta functionality which allows it to work with the Oculus Rift Development Kit. This document is going to be primarily used to keep track of the specific games that are compatible with the Beta version of TriDef 3d.
From Reddit -
Tridef 3D is currently the best third-party driver to run non-Rift-compatible with Rift. I have a post here where there are settings for values I use, but I've noticed that those values might for some reason change when restarting the game. And because of people's different kind of FOVs, IPDs and mouse sensitivities many of these values are wrong. That's why I made a little step-by-step tutorial for you to set up everything by yourself.
Tridef can be downloaded here. You can use the trial for 14 days. Tridef Oculus Rift integration can be downloaded here
- Open up Tridef. If your game is not on the list, add it. Make a new profile for it unless there is already one.
- Open the game through Tridef.
- Continue/load/start the game, find yourself a spot where you can idle. (Do not wear Rift yet)
- Open up the game's settings and change mouse sensitivity to something you like (I recommend slow because of Rift, but not too slow so you can make >90 degree turns). Turn V-sync and mouse acceleration off.
- If available, adjust fov the biggest you can get. This way objects should not disappear from the edges of your vision.
- Open OSD by pressing numpad 0
- Put Rift on, go to HMD settings and change "Force FOV" to "both", then adjust "Output fov" so that you can't anymore see the black edges when looking forwards. (110-120 works usually for me)
- Adjust "Game fov" so that it doesn't look like zoomed in (fov too small) or weird warping at the edges of your vision (fov too big).
- Roll your head. If the game world seems to squish, find "Image Stretch" and set it to 0 (Fallout 3 is the only game I've encountered this).
- Take Rift off and go to head-tracking settings. Set yaw and pitch to "on" and auto-detect "off".
- Keep your Rift straight forward, then turn it 90 degrees to left or right.
- Look at the game. If your character has turned over 90 degrees, make "Yaw scale" bigger and if less than 90 then make it smaller.
- Put Rift facing forward again. Then turn it left and right to test the head-tracking is correct.
- Then look all the way up and all the way down with Rift. Adjust "Pitch scale" so that in-game up-down is 1:1 with Rift moving up and down.
- Go to 3D settings and check that "Depth level" is 30, then go back to HMD settings.
- This is a tricky part. Adjust "World scale" so that the world feels right. With too big values everything looks too small/too close.
- "OSD depth" is usually good in 0.0-0.10, try yourself if the game has a crosshair. "Output quality" is best as "High".
- Yaw and Pitch scales reset when you restart the game. You should write them down.
Hopefully we get some updates to Tridef 3D (or even VorpX!) and after that things would get little easier.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Aliens vs Predator | 2 | Output FOV=90,Game FOV=90 | x-axis tracking inverted, adjust x-axis calc' by 1000 in opposite direction. Game FOV forced @90 causes some distortions at the sides when looking around, but it's still certainly playable | I7 3770 - GTX 580 -W7x64 | Example | |||

System Shock 2 | 3 | Generic | 60 | Nightmarish sliding floor and wall textures, some HUD elements hard to use. Only playable if you've played it before -Peejle | Floor and wall textures can be fixed by disabling "3D Texture Copy". No 3D and no head-roll. | 7870 8GB i5 OC | ||
