Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method of rendering data for producing a full parallax autostereoscopic display of a digital scene, comprising the steps of: defining an image plane that passes through at least a portion of said scene; dividing the image plane into a plurality of contiguous image elements; simulating two camera frustra on opposing sides of said image plane, each camera frustrum having an associated eyepoint; defining a near clipping plane of said frustra on said image plane; for each image element, determining a distance between said eyepoint and said near clipping plane that would avoid near clipping of said scene, thereby determining a set of near clipping plane distances; positioning said camera frustra along said z axis in accordance with one or more of said near clipping plane distances; generating, for each of said elements, image data for each of said cameras; and combining said image data, thereby rendering said scene.
