hi everyone. i am trying to create a simple stereo app. i want a
sphere to appear as if it's in front of the screen (between the screen
and the user). in performer, i can adjust the following things:
inter-ocular distance,focal length, fov, location and orientation of the
camera, and location and orientation of the sphere. i have tried every
possible combination i can think of, but the sphere always looks like
it's behind the screen. i'm using two pfChannels for stereo. the way i
understand it is that in order for the object to appear in front of the
screen, the view plane has to be behind the object. but, i don't see
what the view plane is in perfomer - is it the focal length? any ideas
on how to accomplish what i'm trying to accomplish?

thanks,
kevin
