Hi, Sounds line you didn't have a correct installation of the Xig summit2.2??? I thought the installation was supposed to move all the old mesa/GL stugff to a back up and replace them with the acellerated xig ones? Have you contacted the guys at Xig? If you have paid the 99 dollars or whateve

Flip, Thanks for answering that question -- actually, the new PyMOL release (version 0.88, downloadable from http://pymol.sf.net ) makes this a little easier. ray angle=-3 png image1.png ray angle=3 png image2.png This is superior to using the "turn" command because it also rotates the light

You're both right. "Perfect" ray-traced stereo pictures are impossible in PyMOL because the built-in ray tracer is limited to an orthographic projection. Unfortunately, I optimized all the vector code for this, so we're talking a major rewrite to change that : (. Rotating by a sm

Very true. It would be great to have a feature where we have access to a camera object, with control of the: 1. camera root (where the camera) 2. camera target (where it's looking) 3. focal length control 4. and all associated 6D transforms. :) JP -- Forwarded message -- Da

I experimented with this method a decade ago when I was working on a stereo 16mm film for the late Kent Wilson. The parallel line-of-sight method was described in a popular book on stereo methods .. sorry I don't remember the reference and it would take a lot of digging to find it. To be honest,

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I understand the concepts of blending normals and the importance of vertex ordering in terms of normal generation. Is vertex ordering important to PyMol CGOs (after normals have already been generated).? My ray traced images look good, however, they can only
