Mottarella, Rosa, Bangura, Bernstein and Craig have developed a plugin for PyMOL, ConSCRIPT, that enables it to accept RasMol command language. Thus, you can fire up PyMOL, type in a series of RasMol commands (including the large subset common to Jmol and RasMol), and produce a high-resolution, publication-quality image with beautiful ray tracing. For those familiar with RasMol (Chime, Jmol) language, this is MUCH easier than learning the quite different and challenging PyMOL interface. I have tested ConSCRIPT and it works quite well. I congratulate the authors.
ConSCRIPT was published in the Nov/Dec 2010 issue of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bmb.20450/abstract PDF could be requested from Paul Craig, pac8...@rit.edu The software can be downloaded here https://sourceforge.net/projects/sbevsl/files/ConSCRIPT/ Instructions for installation in Windows, Mac and linux, and for generating a high-resolution ray-traced image, are included in the README file. Incidentally, it is also possible to prepare publication-quality molecular images in PyMOL without installing PyMOL, or learning any command language.
