Hi Abhi,
I had a look and found that POV-Ray does not have a keyword
'smooth_color_triangle' (anymore), but this should be changed to
'smooth_triangle'. Also, the mesh2 object Pymol writes already for
ages is far superior to a set of smooth_triangles. This leaves me a
bit puzzled as what it is you mean. Could you link/post an example of
the image as you get now and indicate what you want to have different?
Maybe also try the change in lighting and finish I posted a few days
ago on the list. It may well be that the default POV-Ray settings
pymol uses for light and appearance are causing the problem.
Cheers,
Tsjerk
