Thanks, Pim, I didn't think of hermiteLevel for nucleic acid cartoon
display! Makes a huge difference.
However, the absence of shadows is still unsolved. Maybe Bob can
elaborate?

You should set:
hermitelevel =5;
in your jmol script. That will make your trace look much better in
jmol! And povray just copies that. So actually it was already
looking irregular in jmol, just less clearly noticeable.
As far as shadows are concerned: The jpgs on bobs website are from
a version that had shadows, I don't get any shadows by default with
his system using the current application. Often shadows of heaps of
atoms obscure a clear view, but I have to admit that they can help
with the feeling of depth and dramatic effects as well, so it
should be easy to choose between having shadows on or off.
I don't get the "no file was written" warning, and I can't remember
if this is some specific povray case.

Sure, will email the files to you off list. Thanks.
When I compared Bob's pov-ray file to mine I saw lots of
"no_shadow" elements in both. So I did not try removing them from
mine.

I have no idea about the lack of smoothness, but the fact that no
shadows are present might be understandable. There are by default
no shadows in the povray output for jmol. They can be turned on by
removing the no_shadow elements in the povray script. I will make
this more easy to do, and maybe it should be an option for the
export menu and/or write command.
Could you e-mail your trna.pov file and pdb?

I am working on creating a pov-ray image as nice as those Bob
posted at
http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/povray.htm
When I run Bob's povray scripts in povray, I get the same
beautiful images he posted.
My tRNA povray script exported from Jmol comes out disappointingly
crude-looking when I run it in povray. When I compare it to the
DNA image on the above page (3rd image on the page) the
differences are that the structure rendering is not nearly as
smooth, and there are no shadows.
I am using Jmol 11.3.40, and the command
write povray 800 800 trna.pov
