Using Hardware Stereo<br />

Graphic Enhancement<br />

<strong>Chem3D</strong> 9.0 provides stereo graphics rendering for<br />

hardware that has stereo OpenGL capabilities.<br />

There are now a variety of stereo graphics cards,<br />

stereo glasses, and 3D monitors that can be driven<br />

by <strong>Chem3D</strong>. Hardware enhancement is enabled<br />

from the OpenGL tab in the <strong>Chem3D</strong> Preferences<br />

dialog, which you can access from the File menu.<br />

Stereo<br />

2. Select Render Stereo Pairs to display two views<br />

of the model next to each other.<br />

The right view is the same as the left view,<br />

rotated about the Y-axis.<br />

3. Specify the Eye Separation (Stereo Offset) with<br />

the slider. This controls the amount of Y-axis<br />

rotation.<br />

4. Specify the degree of separation by clicking the<br />

Separation arrows.<br />

About 5% of the width is a typical separation<br />

for stereo viewing.<br />

To select whether the views are cross-eyed or direct,<br />

do one of the following:<br />

• Select Reverse to rotate the right frame to the<br />

left. If your left eye focuses on the right-hand<br />

model and your right eye focuses on the<br />

left-hand model, the two stereo views can<br />

overlap.<br />

Any 3D window opened after this mode is enabled<br />

will utilize hardware graphics capabilities if they are<br />

available and enabled.<br />

NOTE: You must enable “stereo in OpenGL” in the<br />

display adapter properties control, as well as in <strong>Chem3D</strong><br />

preferences, and select the correct mode for the glasses/monitor<br />

you are using.<br />
