Re: new idea

Youknow with e.g. Clean Water you get to see the different angles and up-close views? Some others can be dragged around. with the mouse. Whilst future projects may have glossier 3D images, current sciences are no candidate. It would require a beta test and always has the risk of breaking something which is now working fine.

PS you know that in the device profiles you can set the CPU percent and the frames per second... graphics do eat into crunching progress.

Thanks for participating at WCG.

Re: new idea

Hello James A Muise III,
i like to see all the stuff we work on in 3D with better graphics would be cool an too see it in fullscreen


biggrin Actually, that is an old idea but still a good one. We used to have much snazzier graphics when we ran on Windows-only UD rather than multi-OS BOINC. I really regretted the loss of the excellent graphics when we moved to BOINC, but there were a number of compelling reasons. I don't see any reason to hope for much improvement. As is, we draw regular reports of graphics problems that are cured by disabling screen savers, etc.

tired
Lawrence

Re: new idea

Maybe an example movie of the molecular interaction could be produced. Other projects do this, usually after publication.
Probably one for the scientists rather than WCG.
