Hello Mike and Hairy,

   Just to remember you that I wrote Python scripts to make stereoscopic images and movies. See the links in one of my previous messages.

   The script for image generation creates left and right images for parallel cameras. Compare to Hairy python script, this script offers a choice of the stereo base (distance between cameras) but the setting of the stereo window should be done in Stereo Photo Maker. In Hairy script, the stereo window is set by the convergence of cameras (not a bad approach).

   The script for movie generation creates left and right movies from parallel cameras. However, you have to set the auxilary camera before the animation. See the instructions in the ReadMe file.

   Mike, if you want to try my movie script, just be familiar with the script that generates images.  Then process with the script that generates movies.

   The movie script is not always working perfectly. So, the movie can be done manually by following process.

1. First, copy all the parameters of the main camera to the auxillary camera (focal length, x, y and z dolly, etc). You can do that by copy-paste mode or manually for each parameters.

2. Move the auxillary camera to the right (Dolly X) by the stereobase of your choice (See the read me file for image generator for suggestions). Be careful not to change any other parameters).

3. Parented the auxilary camera to the main camera. Now, be careful, you have to work only with the main camera until you render the animation. So close everything related to auxillary camera (Parameter palette and viewing window if you have select the auxillary camera as the working camera).

4. Create your animation using the main camera (Never change things to the auxillary camera)

5. Render your movie for the main camera (left movie) and then for the auxillary camera (right movie). Save it with different name

6. Now, you have the left and right movies. You can process them with Stereo Movie Maker

I have to leave for one week, so I will not be able to respond to your maild until that. Will do after if you need advice.

  Good luck
