Hi EagleSun,

hmmmm stereo view. It should be no problem to render one image with a
camera-position left and one with the position right to the centered normal
vector to the molecule. But the difficulties will start when i need to merge
both images into one using red and blue colors. I think the idea is good but
it's not possible for the complete image including the background. But for
the single molecule alone maybe i can achieve a good looking steroview.

ORTEP3 is a program for displaying the Thermal ellipsoids (ORETP = Oak Rich
Thermal Ellipsoid Plot) of determined X-ray crystal structures. These
ellipsoids represent the space occupied by the electrons of a atomic
nucleous with 50 % propability level. It has nothing to do with POVRAY
except the fact that is exportes very nice *.pov files of the structural
data of a molecule. You can only use it to converst different molecular
structure file formats into each others but You cannot interconvert models
from other sources.

Best regards, Shu.
