Thanks, Andy. Have you already created a .cal file to generate the appropriate ray origins and directions for this? If not, I could take a crack at it. Seems like an easier method than adding a new view type, especially since we would need a new parameter for the stereo offset to get it to do what we want.
Regarding rpiece, you can always use the rtrace -n option to get an equivalent speed-up.
