In order to render stereo pairs with external renderers like Tachyon,
you need to set the stereo mode to "Left", render an image, then "Right"
and render another image. That's how you get a stereo pair from those
programs. You'll need to manually assemble the stereo pair into a single
image with photoshop or similar tools if you render them this way. Let
us know if you need more help with this.
