This looks right to me. When you see =93fatter=94, you are seeing the =
white border from two adjacent panels simultaneously. When you are =
seeing =93thinner=94 you are only seeing the one visible border. Combine =
that with perspective and you get what you=92re showing.

Are you trying to get the look of an orthogonal projection with no =
perspective?
