[chimerax-users] 3D stereo lighting is not the same as mono

[Kenneth Satyshur]

I am using version 1.0 in Centos7 with Nvidia 3D glasses and K4000 video card. I do all my work  in 3D stereo. Especially density fitting. I noticed that the lighting is different in mono vs stereo mode. When i go to stereo mode with

camera stereo

the image is in stereo but the "full" lighting is on and the image is very dark with shadows. If I switch to 'simple' it is bright and has weak shadowing. Switching to 'soft' the image is flat black and can only be seen with white background but contains no atoms. I think this is a bug.
But a Great improvement in rendering of images.
thanks

p.s. old chimera does stereo very well on my system
