Not too much trouble at all to redo.
Any better? The camera separations are only 5 units different from last time
but it did look better to me. Any more and I think it wouldn't have the right
depth to it.
Remember the sphere doesn't shift, it's moved along with the camera. Again,
x3D is the cross-eyed and z3D is the diverged pair.

The clouds look right, but they still appear to be raised out of the sphere.
I'd say this is because you're moving the sphere with the camera, which
distorts the effect. You need to keep the sphere in the same position, and
the camera look_at position the same, but move only the camera to get the
right effect.

Thank you for making the scene all for me! It is slightly better, and
perhaps my eyes are starting to fail me just a little (or the brain -
that's where the actual merging of stereo pairs occurs, I think). I still
have the idea that there is something about this scene, resulting in less
3D effect than one would expect :)) Now don't get mad at me :-))

This could just be true. If you move the sphere with the camera, and the
clouds are far away with respect to the distance camera-sphere, the
reflected clouds could seem to lie flat on the sphere's surface. (?)
And: there wouldn't be much 3D in the clouds themselves, I think.

Yes that's right, you see by moving the sphere, it alters dramatically the
reflection that the other eye would normally see in the sphere. The
reflection is actually so different that you see the sphere as having the
reflected clouds sitting "out" of the surface.
Instead you should move the camera like this... (warning, bad ascii art
ahead)
o
/ \
/ \
l r
Where the o is the sphere (or the camera's look_at point which should be
centred to the sphere, or top of sphere) and the l and r are the left and
right cameras.
Nothing should move in a stereo scene except the camera, or you won't get
the right effect.

Uh, guys... I intentionally moved the sphere with the camera for the
possibility of it being an odd affect to begin with :-)
But trying with a look_at that isn't parallel sounds like a thing to do too.
Were this done in the usual fashion, as you outlined there Lance, then the
sphere needs to be huge and the camera very distant from it, also requiring the
clouds to be scaled upward.
I'm not so sure real clouds have much of any parallax worth making a stereogram
of though. And that's what would happen if I left the sphere/camera distance a
typical ball-size, a much smaller left to right shift would need to be used.

Welcome to a changed render anytime, within reason :-)
If you see or saw my reply to Lance B.'s message then maybe it will make more
sense.
