A silly but working solution is to embed the pymol script in a csh script which changes the value for the transparency in small steps.

Not ellegant but if you know csh/sh/bash it's easy.

That would require execution of a python program within a specific scene, which is not supported as far as I know. Scenes are intended to be static representations of display states, for lack of a better word. You would need to manually run the fade script before transitioning the scene. Not sure if this is what you want. Looks as if you may be better off plunging into movies if you really need the effect.



Mark Lutz, David Asher , Learning Python, o’Reilly .... Great book i f you want to dive into python.



Cheers,

Dear Carsten,



yes, thanks. However, for a smooth fading, that would require a lot of scenes. Is there a simple python loop, that would create scenes with smooth transparency fading-in from 0 to 1 and that I could use in my pymol-scripts? Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with python, yet ...



Best regards,



Dirk.

Dirk,



you could try playing around with different transparency settings in subsequent scenes to emulate the effect.

Dear Warren,



using PyMOL without any additional "plug-ins", like slerpy or eMovie, is it possible to fade in or out a surface of, say, a ligand, between scenes?



Best regards,



Dirk.
