Ah thank you Warren, that gave it a fish-eye effect that seems to work. Is there any other way to go about this problem? Is there no way to move the camera from looking in to looking out? By default, the camera is anchored outside the molecule, can the camera be anchored to a point inside the molecule but not on any atom?
