Hey all,
I've run into the following problem while making some movies with MacPyMOL
0.99rc6.
I have a protein in surface representation that I start with transparency =
0 and a cavity (voidoo-created map) as surface with transparency = 1. In
other words, the protein surface is visible, the cavity is not. When I
cross-fade the transparencies, like so:
for i in range (1, 41):
cmd.set ("transparency", i*0.025, "protein")
cmd.set ("transparency", 1-(0.016*i), "cavity")
cmd.ray
cmd.png ("fadeOut_%02d" %i)
the protein disappears and the cavity appears gracefully. However, those
parts of the cavity hidden behind a wall of protein don't fade in as the
protein surface disappears. They only appear when the protein surface
transparency has reached 1, and there is a sudden jerk between the
second-to-last and the last image created by above script as the cavity
becomes fully visible. I remember that this issue has come up before but
don't remember if there is a solution. Could someone enlighten me please?
Thanks.
Andreas
