Stereo view does not work with chimerax 1.4
Hi, Good morning. I would like to generate a stereo view in ChimeraX 1.4 but it did not work. Here is the error message: camera stereoCould not switch graphics mode. Graphics driver did not create OpenGL context. And there is the graphics driver information: graphics driverOpenGL version: 4.1 INTEL-18.7.4 OpenGL renderer: Intel(R) Iris(TM) Plus Graphics OpenGL Engine OpenGL vendor: Intel Inc Any helpful suggestion is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Zhen

Hi Zhen, Are you using the ChimeraX command "camera stereo"? That is for use with LCD shutter glasses and is a mode available only in workstation level graphics cards and drivers, for example Nvidia Quadro cards. Intel graphics does not support the quad-buffered stereo needed for sequential stereo (LCD shutter glasses) as far as I know. Tom

There are other stereo modes described in the ChimeraX camera command documentation. https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/camera.html The ChimeraX daily build has wall-eye and cross-eye stereo modes that need no special hardware. Tom
