Dear Users, in my University I have an hardware system formed by: 1 - PC with Nvidia Quadro FX 4800 graphics card. 2 - 64-bit Operating system Windows 7 Professional 3 - Projector ACER H5360 DLP 720P (3D ready) connected to the PC by HDMI 4 - Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision Emitter connected to the PC by USB 5 - Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision glasses I have successfully tested the stereoscopic visualization with some DEMOs from Nvidia. Now, I would like to use it with PyMOL. However when I try to open PyMOL and select in the "stereo mode" menu the "Quad buffered stereo" visualization, the projector visualizes the two images for the left and right eye (I see the image is double) but the emitter does not start and so I can not see the stereoscopic effect by the glasses. I tried to enter the Nvidia driver in order to change the default setting for PyMOL program and force explicitly to use the "3D DLP display" settings though I have had no results. Looking at the "Tips & Tricks" manual of Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision package, I read that it currently supports only the full screen applications and cannot run in windowed mode. Is this the problem with my hardware? Or do you think that the problem is elsewhere? Is there a way to run PyMOL in full screen mode? In case is not, are the PyMOL developers planning to insert a full screen mode in the near future? Do you know some way to overcome the problem? In case the only possibility is the replacement of the emitter and glasses (I have to replace both of them?), which ones are compatible with PyMOL? Thank you in advance for any reply. Best regards, Emiliano |

Now, I would like to use it with PyMOL. You're not supposed to need the 3 pin mini din connected for 3d vision in windows but go ahead and plug that in anyways since you've got that connector on your card. Also make sure you're not hotplugging the emitter, i.e. make sure you rebooted with all connectors (including the 3 pin min din) plugged in and the proper 3d drivers installed. > However when I try to open PyMOL and select in the "stereo mode" menu the "Quad buffered stereo" visualization, the projector visualizes the two images for the left and right eye (I see the image is double) but the emitter does not start and so I can not see the stereoscopic effect by the glasses. > > I tried to enter the Nvidia driver in order to change the default setting for PyMOL program and force explicitly to use the "3D DLP display" settings though I have had no results. > > Looking at the "Tips & Tricks" manual of Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision package, I read that it currently supports only the full screen applications and cannot run in windowed mode. > > Is this the problem with my hardware? Or do you think that the problem is elsewhere? I've tested windowed stereo with 3d vision and a low end quadro 370 for pymol and chimera on win xp, but with a 120 Hz LCD. Do you have a 120Hz LCD monitor you can test with? See this page for more info: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Stereo_3D_Display_Options Let us know if you get this to work. Thanks, Sabuj |
