Edimensional VMD setup
- Use the latest version of E-Dimensional software and make sure it supports OpenGL.
- change laptop resolution to 800x600 at max refresh rate
- connect ED laptop to 8-glasses emitter box
- turn refresh dial on emitter box quarter to right from min
- unplug from AC adapter when in use (keep charged otherwise)
- configure laptop to display same view on projector
- load ED drivers
- Turn 3D on/off by right clicking on ED icon in taskbar, and check if glasses shutter (press button on glasses to activate)
- Turn 3D off
- Load VMD and protein
- Change representation to New Cartoon
- Turn 3D ON (glasses should start shutter) (repeat after 15)
- Adjust window size (do no maximize)
- Translate and zoom in VMD as necessary if image cropped
- Drag protein briefly with mouse to initiate rotation at desired speed
- Maximize 3D effect in ED software by holding down F7
- Change image separation at given shutter speed with F6/Shift+F6
- 3D works best when the background color in the VMD is same as the screen color (on which the projector image is projected).
- 3D also works better when the room is darker and the intensity of the projected image is high.
