Hi,
    Is anybody else doing stuff like this?  (Get Spy-Kids Red-Blue glasses
from McDonalds.)

http://home.netcom.com/~alrai/bildoj/Anaglyph_Werner_Boys_Surface_jjf8712.mpg

    To make both a left and right eye version of each frame, I first render
all the frames with my chosen camera.  Then I rotate the camera by a degree
or two:

#declare RIGHT_EYE = 1
camera {
...
#ifdef (RIGHT_EYE) rotate y*-2 #end
}
    and render the "right eye" frames.  I use the freeware program Stereo
Photo Maker ( http://www3.zero.ad.jp/esuto/stphmkr/index_e.htm ) to batch
combine the lefts and rights into anaglyphs.   The frame filenames have to
be patterned like: anim000.L.bmp and anim000.R.bmp.  After using Stereo
Photo Maker, I combine the finished frames with the bmp->avi program linked
on the Povray Resources page.

Just scratching the surface of what Povray can do, and having a great time,
RetroJ

I've been doing similar stuff with still frames, and gotten some
reasonably good results.  I'll post one in p.b.images.

That helmet has great depth.  Can you give me some idea of the scale you're
working with?  How many units tall is the helmet, how far away is the
camera, and how many degrees do you rotate the camera for the other "eye"?

The helmet's about five units high, and the camera is about 9-10 units
distant.  The separation on the eyes is 0.4 units, and isn't actually
rotated;  translated, but the target point left the same.
