Typically it is around 30 degrees in normal Chimera use. You can see the value and change using menu Tools / Viewing Controls / Camera. Another parameter you may be interested in is “eye separation” in the Camera dialog. It will change the sense of depth — usually I use the cross-eye or wall-eye camera mode (also set in the Camera dialog) to preview on-screen the eye separation effect before making a lenticular image. A basic problem is not having objects that project out towards the viewer too far. That usually will not look good due to limitations of the lenticular (and other stereoscopic) technology — basically the physical image (lenticular print or screen) is not wide enough to portray an object close to the viewer’s face because projecting a line through such an object would land outside the bounds of the physical image.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On May 21, 2014, at 11:22 PM, Schulz-Gasch, Tanja wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Hi Elaine,<div><br></div><div>the settings that are defined in Chimera to output a set of lenticular images work fine.

I haven't made lenticular images personally, but others in our lab have done so. If you didn't see it already, here is documentation (prerequisites and instructions):<br>
<br>
<<a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/lenticular.html" target="_blank">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/lenticular.html</a>><br>
<br>
As detailed in that page, you would need additional software (besides Chimera) to interlace the images, a high-res printer, the lensing material itself, and a cold laminator.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps,<br>
