No, this time I didn't use any of POV-ray's included mesh_cam scenes as a
starting point (in the scenes/camera/mesh_camera folder, specifically the
meshcam_persp_demo). Instead, I took an 'old world' approach of simply using two
left/right camera views in a scene.

Back in May of 2023, I did experiment with the mesh camera to try and make
anaglyphs. See my comments and image tests in Josh English's thread, starting
about midway through the various replies...

I had to re-read that entire thread, to re-familiarize myself with what I had
done! (Us 'old folks' have a way of forgetting things, ha.) But my final
anaglyph result there also exhibited the '3D distortion' that I mentioned--
which was probably a natural result of the way I used the mesh camera (perhaps
the same way as in my experiments here, when using camera rotation rather than
x-displacement.)  Maybe that distortion could have been eliminated somehow if I
had kept at it, but I could not fully understand the meshcam code or math.

Although, I might revisit that code...
