Apologies for cross posting, but I think this is of general interest to Therion users too. I had not heard of this route to view 3D cave models in a stereoscopic viewer before. If Loch could export models in a standard 3D model format including the landscape overlays it would open up 3D viewing options. E.g. A side-by-side image pair video signal can be viewed in full colour 3D on many 3D TV sets and projectors. Loch does not provide a side by side option currently. If it could export models to a format another viewer can show then it gives a quick route to display models in this sort of way.

I had a lot of luck with Pymol (designed for biological molecules / molecular dynamics), and Thomas Holder's python library for directly importing .3d data: https://github.com/jarvist/migovecsurveydata/tree/master/scripts/pymol Example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s68V9EsRvmE Pymol is open source, but a lot of the web links direct you to the pay version. Pymol supports all kinds of weird and wonderful 3D outputs, including shutter glasses. Mainly I've just used the 'cross eyed' stereo and anaglyph (coloured 3D specs). Back in ~2011 I wrote a C program that linked to Survex and exported the .3d file to a '.CGO' set of graphics primitives. This was a bit more clunky, but also worked fine.

Hi,
Is there any way I could take advantage of the OpenGL 3D capabilities of my Nvidia Quadro graphics card and see my surveys in Aven in Stereoscopic 3D?

Pedro
