I just tried this and it works better:
I have 3 sprites...each with the same cast member.
I have 3 cameras...All try cameras have the same properties (fov, position,
etc.) however, the left camera is rotate to the left and the right camera
is rotated to the right...this way the 3 frustrums meet in a seamless fit.
BUT...
when the models move from the left sprite to the middle sprite and then to
the right sprite, the start out small, get bigger and then end up small
again...it's as if there's a weird lens...
I tried to change the quad properties of the left and right sprites, but I
couldn't do it...I guess you can do that to sprites with 3d
castmembers...it would be cool if you can do it though.
I actually need a pretty seamless fit...3 graphics cards will be connected
to 3 projectors...so hopefully I can play with the projectors settings to
skew the left and righ a bit...
