I'm a new user of POV-ray. How can I render stereo pairs and stereo
movies
using Povray?

 Thank you very much.

Render the scene twice with slightly different camera angles and compile
the images by hand.  (For stills) It would work with movies too, but be
a huge pain unless you could automate it.  I recently made a stereo pair
of a bridge which turned out pretty well (though most of my friends had
to shrink the image to allow themselves to see it)

A while back Glen McCarter made an image for the IRTC which used mirrors
to generate the stereoscopic effect.  His image won 3rd place:

You can read about how he did it at:

The positive side of this technique is that it doesn't require any post
processing.
