XenoDream, being true 3d, is capable of moving/viewing the working image in all dimensions (or that could be 'dementions'). Some other fractal programs may also be capable of this- Terragen can, and probably any other 3d graphic application.

Without getting technical, all that needs to be done is to create two identical images, one slightly rotated or moved to the right (or left). This is easily done in XD by adjusting the X Position of the second image. while keeping the shadows/lighting true. Then butting them together to create one image. You can use PSP or whatever, but the easiest way is to use the Irfanview program to merge the two images using the 'create panorama' option.

You can find much better explanations with a Google search for the technical aspects, but for using particular applications, someone needs to write a good tutorial. ;-) Fractal Explorer is also capable of creating images for stereo use (the fractal landscapes part), except for some reason my machine will not handle the coloring schemes of the program.
