[Paraview] plugin for stereo animation rendering

[Berk Geveci]

I am not by any means an expert on stereo but I don't think what you
are asking for is straightforward. You want to support active stereo
in a movie. This is not a matter of simply saving a set of images. You
would need a special player that is aware of the nvidia hardware. The
closest thing you can do with ParaView is to turn on geometry caching
so that after the first time you animation plays faster. Have you
saved/played stereo movies with other applications before?
