 Any progress on NIH3D pipeline as pertains to ChimeraX? 
-- Philip has incorporated the chimeraX unified py file into the workflow, says ChimeraX download from UCSF is slow. Error codes 64 (faulty usage) and 70 (internal software error) plus "expect trouble" (using gui. To avoid this, need to use nogui mode via --offscreen startup flat)

 - Script calls sys.exit. Greg says zero/nonzero should be all you see, must be something with your workflow, and nonzero = error.
+- NIH3D pipeline will be using cloud computing, currently not using systems with graphics hardware.
+- offscreen rendering is currently slower, uses CPU rather than GPU. Can OSMESA use multiple CPU threads? Greg and possibly others will look into it.
+- ambient lighting is slower, script already does size-dependent lighting
+- Scooter: next step could be performance testing. Darrell's seen very slow examples with Chimera. Philip: let's try with ChimeraX, could well be different. Scooter: should try those specific examples, Phil will try to find them in the logs.
