  ? I do not understand what you mean here... POV-Ray is the "depth map 
generator"! I've done lots of depth maps for stereograms in the past with 
POV-Ray 2.2, only with black fog and white luminous textures. Later I used 
gradient z for easier control (wave type). Both tricks are *really* old, 
and work perfectly for all kind of RDS and SIRDS.

  I can't see the difficulty on scaling and translating a texture, but of 
course, having an INI option for depth map output is easier, sure. I only 
said that POV-Ray already serves for this, IMHO.
