(57) : A system, method and software for producing a virtual scene (10) to be viewed on an electronic display (12). A virtual reference plane (24) is defined. The reference plane (24) has peripheral boundaries (27, 28, 29, 30). A virtual object (20) is positioned above the reference plane (24) in the virtual scene (10). Stereoscopic camera viewpoints (25, 26) are calculated that enable the virtual object (20) to be imaged with the reference plane (24) within the peripheral boundaries (27, 28, 29, 30) of the reference plane (24). The virtual object (20) is digitally altered before and/or after being stereoscopically imaged. The altering includes bending, tapering or tilting a portion of the virtual object (20), and/or tilting a portion of the reference plane (24). A common set of boundaries are set for a superimposed image to create a fmal image (48).
