What do you mean? What is a depth map generator? And what's wrong with using
the output directly from POV-Ray (using the gradient pattern solution)?

Scale the pattern big enough and then transform it like you transform the
camera - how difficult can that be?

I have used the gradient method in a few stereograms and it has worked fine
for me.
