[Bf-committers] Multiview frustrum controler reference

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi Adriano,

Those high-level controls are desirable. But I tend to favour first
implement the core functionality, let users define the ultimate
workflow that attend their productions and then we sort what is the
unique need of "Adriano's pipeline" and what is of general interest.

The same is true for controlling min-maximum pixel separation in
oppose to setting interocular distance and convergence plane.
Internally the result is the same so for the initial Multi-View
feature-set we provide the low level settings (e.g., interocular and
convergence plane) and leave to the users to build customizable
solutions for their pipelines.

We had addons to provide those even before a robust Multi-View was in
place. I'm confident that solutions built on top of the
Multi-View/Stereo 3D functionality will be in place in no time.

That said, if you have the time to build a proper proposal on how
those controllers would fit in the UI and the pipeline I'm all ears.

Regards,
Dalai
