Is it possible to make a 2D image in pymol that can be used with 3D glasses, the kind you used to get with really bad movies? Or is there a way to do this with standard images generated in pymol? I'd like to add these kinds of images to a poster so that people normally uninterested in structural biology will at least show a superficial interest - "look at the pretty pictures!" -- James Knight <kni...@gm...> |

As far as I know, there isn't currently a way to do this within pymol. It does seem like an interesting idea though. For a poster, you'd probably have to go with the two-color stereo scheme, which would mean losing color depth (as far as I know). You could try generating the initial image with cross-eye (or wall-eye) stereo mode, splitting the two sides (one image for each eye), processing the two images (change from rbg color to all-red or all-green), and then recombine the two images. You'd also need to be able to find the appropriate stereo glasses (or stuff to make them, which should be pretty cheap if they could be located). I don't know how good the final result would look, but it should be possible. If you're going try this, I'd recommend using imagemagick or the python imaging library to do the various image processing (after pymol), but there may be other software you're more comfortable with; or for that matter an easier approach.

Okay, thanks. I think I might try the all-red/green approach with one image, and leave the rest of the poster as normal.
