Dear Coot-ers! With the observation that 3D vision works in a Windows environment without the need for a Quadro card, I was trying out all the usual 3D visualization programs to see if they could display a stereo image. I could get Chimera and Pymol to display a quad-buffered stereoscopic image using my current system in fullscreen mode (Windowed mode does not work, if you have any suggestions for this, that would be also great to hear)
Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX 2070 NVIDIA driver: 425.31 (3D vision archive version) Windows Version: 10.0.17763 Build 17763 However WinCoot (0.8.9.2-pre EL rev. 7835) does not seem to want to do it. When I enable hardware stereo mode, I can see that the hardware indeed does engage 3D mode (the IR emitter shows green light, and my monitor gets darker), however there model/map that was displayed just disappears and only a black screen is in view. Going to full-screen mode does not change anything, and disabling the stereo mode brings the model/map back (in 2D). Opening a new model/map also shows nothing. I have already disabled Triple buffering, Threaded optimization, and Vsync in the NVIDIA control panel. I should note that in my version the "enable stereo" option is not present. However as Chimera and Pymol seem to be alright with it, I am inclined to think maybe something can be done to make it work in Coot too. Any suggestions would be much appreciated Best wishes Shintaro ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the COOT list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=COOT&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/COOT, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
