Re: [PyMOL] Anaglyph colours sorted (kind of)
Thanks again for a prompt reply. I usually use LCD shutter glasses but they are starting to fail. Anaglyph is a useful alternative and works on any monitor of course. I'm also keen to use it for seminars with projected anaglyph images and movies. Not sure if I should keep ranting on about anaglyph here? Is the wiki an alternative? Just to recap of what to avoid after loading and working on your molecules: 1) do not use a black background 2) do not use setting rendering modernize 3) be careful with setting quality too high (especially on spheres) Point 4 should now be: 4) do not use 'ray' when trying to use anaglyph stereo. This is a shame because an anaglyph image for a slide or printout might be useful. Some irreversible colour changes are frustrating after working for hours on molecular structures, and then finding anaglyph does not work. That¹s why I'd like to find a 'reset' command for the settings edit all settings. Initialise wipes out all my hard work (molecules, objects, selections, maps, etc etc). Currently I just have to revert to the last saved pse file. Any idea why using modern shaders does not work with anaglyph and might this be improved later? Gary Prof. Gary J.

[PyMOL] Pymol DLP 3D
Hello, Does anyone have any experience in running pymol in 3D using a DLP projector? I have an Optoma EW610ST, running from a windows seven machine using a Geforce GT620 GPU. The computer and projector are connected via HDMI but at present I am not able to configure any 3D output. Many thanks, Colin Manchester Protein Structure Facility Dr. Colin W.

[PyMOL] Control and shift keys not functioning (Fedora 18)
I've found that all recent versions (1.5, 1.6, non-incentive) of Pymol on my laptop running updated Fedora 18 (nvidia drivers) don't allow me to use the control or shift keys for selection or editing in the gui. I dug out an older version (1.4.1) and it behaved properly. It appears to be pymol specific as coot and other programs work fine. Has anyone seen this before?

Re: [PyMOL] Anaglyph colours sorted (kind of)
Hi Gary, I think you misunderstood. First, with a good video card, use Setting Rendering Modernize for the fastest and highest quality on screen rendering. In fact, it's essentially as good as ray tracing but without shadows. If your machine cannot handle this, the fallback is immediate mode rendering, which PyMOL has been using for years. Machines with older and lower quality video cards sometimes cannot handle this rendering technique: they're simply incapable of using such drawing techniques. Point 4 should now be: 4) do not use 'ray' when trying to use anaglyph stereo. This is a shame because an anaglyph image for a slide or printout might be useful. You have this backwards. The 'ray' command works just fine in anaglyph mode. I've made countless 3D images using 'ray' and anaglyph mode. Some irreversible colour changes are frustrating after working for hours on molecular structures, and then finding anaglyph does not work. That’s why I'd like to find a 'reset' command for the settings – edit all settings. Initialise wipes out all my hard work (molecules, objects, selections, maps, etc etc). Currently I just have to revert to the last saved pse file. Since we do not have 'undo' for things like colors you have to save keep saving your session files so you don't lose any color changes. Any idea why using modern shaders does not work with anaglyph and might this be improved later? Again, modern shaders do indeed work with PyMOL–I use them all the time–your video card just has to be good enough and you need to be using PyMOL v1.5 or later.

Hi Gary Jason, two more things to add: Optimized anaglyph is not available in immediate mode rendering.
