How do you make stereo views in POV-Ray? At the moment, I'm only interested
in red/blue, and cross-eyed views (mainly the former). Anyone know how to
do this?

Perhaps a capability for automatically generating stereo views should be
included in POV-Ray 4.0?

Not likely to happen.

  Probably not as a direct feature, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was
possible indirectly with whatever enhanced features and language enhancements
pov4 will have.

Two ways come to mind just off the top of my mhead so there must be
many more (and better) ways.

 1) Move the camera a hair to teh left before rotating and translating
    it.  Render.  Move the camera to the right.  Render to a different
    file name.
 2) Use an if statement to position the camera to the left for clock
    values less than 0.5, else position the camera to the right.
    Render a two-frame animation.  Done.
