Hi, I have previously been able to do a "fake" fade on surface transparency by doing the following: where "testout" is an object in pymol.
mdo 449: set transparency, 1, testout mdo 550: show surface, testout mdo 551: set transparency, 0.7, testout mdo 552: set transparency, 0.6, testout mdo 553: set transparency, 0.5, testout mdo 554: set transparency, 0.4, testout mdo 555: set transparency, 0.3, testout mdo 556: set transparency, 0.3, testout mdo 557: set transparency, 0.1, testout mdo 558: set transparency, 0, testout The surface will slowly come to life between frames 449 and 558. However, if I try doing this with "set stick_transparency", nothing happens. I have tried to do this using scenes, however the object simply disappears instead of fading. I would love some help on this. I am interested in python scripting as well as I know a little python but not sure how to implement it in pymol.
