Hi, Just thought I would post this info…in case anyone needs it. I have been trying to create a random dot stereogram from a mesh object created in 3D studio. I got hold of the following programs: POLYRAY 1.7, POP-OUT Pro, 3DS2POV, but could not get it to work… trying to take my mesh through 3ds2pov worked but POLYRAY wouldnt produce a depth map for the POPOUT program. So, I tried with the DIAM.3DS sample file that came with 3ds2pov….it worked. The trick is, load in the DIAM.3DS file, then merge your mesh objects into the file (mine were huge in comparison) scale them to the same size as the diamond you will see in DIAM.3DS…..hide the DIAM objects, save the file and then run that though 3ds2pov and polyray…works brilliantly. Thanks to all concerned for offers of help and for writing software that does this job. Louis
