Hi Nathan, For active stereo with shutter glasses, if you use the merged image then it will not work. Active stereo works on the principle that scene is rendered at min 120 Hz and each alternate frame is for the left eye and right eye. the shutter glasses are in sync in the 3D moniter so that each frame is either seen by the left eye of right eye. if you see without the shutter glasses then you will see the merged images. but if you merge the right and left frames before and then display the scene then you will still see the merged images with the shutter glasses but not the 3D effect as both eyes will see the same image.
