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 source. That way shadows will look right. The problem with having PyMOL generate a stereo pair in a single image is that without knowing the final pixel scaling, PyMOL couldn't guarantee that 66 mm separation. Thus, even with the new version, you have to create two images in PyMOL, and then assemble them outside of PyMOL. We'll make this foolproof in a future version.

If you want to save stereo pics with ray tracing (side-by-side) you have to generate them separately, e.g. create left pic, ray, png left.png, then rotate around Y by 2-3 degrees and ray, png right.png. If you print them side by side for viewing, remember to scale in such a way that equivalent atoms in both pics are 66 mm apart.

When we display stereo, and as soon as we use the command "ray", stereo is disappearing ! Any helps would be really appreciated .
