William - I responded to that already. The world does not appear to move only on the X axis.

You're not grasping the problem. Visualize this:

An airplane has a camera on each wingtip. The animator wants to record what these two cameras see by animating the airplane through the world. When the plane turns the two cameras are changing position and orientation, and at each moment through the turn, the relative position (i.e. translation of the perspective) is DIFFERENT. Only at one point in the turn is it a pure positive X axis shift, if at all. Everywhere else, it is both X and Z, and possibly even Y. If the plane is banked, one camera is higher than the other - a change in Y position.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
