HELP: lenticular photography

dear netters,

I am new in this list and I have joined it because I am interested in
lenticular photography. 
I would like to be able to have a lenticular print of a protein molecule 
which is a 3D object that I can manipulate on a computer screen via molecular
modeling softs.I am interested in lenticular photography because the 3D 
rendering is accessible for everybody without learning how to view a stereo 
pair.
I can of course have a stereo pair of this 3D object but I can also manipulate 
the molecule in the 3 dimensions i.e rotation and translation.
I know that special cameras for this purpose use 3 lenses that give 3 images 
(of a real 3D object) that are combined together in the final lenticular print. 
But I cannot use such a camera for my purpose because the molecule is a 3D 
object that is displayed in only 2 dimensions on the computer screen. The 3D
rendering comes from the use of stereo pairs or rotation of the molecule.
So my question is:

Is it possible to have a lenticular print starting either from a stereo pair 
or from different views of the molecule (I can rotate the molecule with 
various angles and have screen snapshots or direct photos of the screen).

May be softs exist that do encode the image starting from a stereo pair 
or from different images??

I am also interested in all the aspects of the technique of lenticular 
photography. 


Thank you very much in advance for your help or comments on my projects.
