I have a patch for a stereoscopic camera in povray.

You have to consider a few things:
* what is the distance between the centre of each "eye" ?
* where is the focus point where both centres of picture's rays meet.
* do you want parallel or crossed visualisation

Otherwise, it's pretty like traditional pin-hole camera.

So, did you laterally translate the camera between each render ?
Did both focus on the same spot ?

The camera should move, not the scene.
