There are a number of ways to do it. Probably the best way (for a reasonable cost) would be to pick up a pair of consumer 3D shutter glasses, which can be had for under $100. If you happen to own an nVidia-based video card, you can download their (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I don't know if this has been brought up before or not, but if the stickers are separate parts, they will "float" above the piece if you use L3P, L3Lab, or LDView and have seams turned on. Since I would expect most L3P renderings to be done with (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
