Carles, one other comment -- For those animations I think you should
explore
load TRAJECTORY
Your animations -- basically the old simple chime-style animations -- is
precisely what TRAJECTORY is for -- the idea that all the atoms are the
same, but the coordinates change. It is immensely more efficient in
terms of memory (there is only one "model," and only the atom
coordinates change during animation). This means, for example, that you
can use cartoons (if you switched to PDB fomat), and they will properly
adjust to the changing coordinates as the animation runs -- and there is
only one set of cartoon "objects" for the entire set of atoms.
Also, right now you are using ball/stick mode for very distant views.
That decreases your rendering time. I would suggest just using sticks,
which involve less processing.
I believe you could increase the rending time substantially for these
animations.
You can try this from the console on that applet, just to compare:
load trajectory ""
Oh -- I realize you can't do that with 11.2. How about upgrading to
11.4? It has some important memory fixes, if nothing else.
