	If you want to do this right, and get some *excellent* 3D out of
DigiView (I've been doing a lot of this of late), try this:

	Focus your camera on a still real-life object.  Digitize it.  Now,
without adjusting any of the DigiView parameters, move the camera about 2.5
inches to the left or right, making absolutely sure to keep it focused at
the same place.  Then, digitize again.

	You now have a stereo pair.  Viewing it is your problem (although
we'll be addressing this problem shortly with a 3D Experimenter's Kit for
the Amiga).

	There are other techniques for making your 3D pair look really good,
but I don't want to give too much away.  We've gotta give you *some* reason
to buy the kit........		:-)
