Vray Stereo help files?

[crazy homeless guy]

Are there help files for the Vray Stereo plugin? ...I am having a bit of difficulty on how to get the images out of Max, and into a workflow.

Do I need to use the PDPLayer for this, or is this something that can be done by going from Vray to AfterEffects?

Mainly, I can't seem to figure out if there is a way to write out 2 separate files, or if it is best to work with the 1 file where both images are next to each other?

I've just been saving the image as left/right side by side views and outputting the anaglyph stereo with "Stereo Photo Maker". It's free

Thank you. This is a nice tool that solved the problem I was having and more.

The other immediate thing that I do not understand is what the eye distance is? I am guessing this the distance at which the red and blue start to diverge from each other? There fore, it is the focal point of the stereo scene?

Here is my first attempt at anaglyph stereo with Vray. I didn't precalc, so the GI is shaky.

Is there a way to embed a video directly into the forums?

The "Eye distance" is the distance between the positions of the two virtual cameras for the left and the right eye (normally about 6.6 cm). If you set the "Focus method" to "None", then the two cameras are looking straight ahead and the red/blue images will converge in the infinity. Otherwise, if the "Focus method" is "Shear" or "Rotate", the point where the red and blue converge is currently the same as the DOF focus point - for a VRayPhysicalCamera, this is the camera target, otherwise it is either the camera target or the distance specified in the DOF section of the V-Ray Camera settings, depending on whether "Get from camera" is on or off.
