Hi Vitali, Maybe ambient was set to a large negative value. Doing so has not impact on line drawings.
Try resetting it to the default value. set ambient, 0.1 Best regards, Blaine Blaine Mooers, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology College of Medicine University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center S.L.

Lines representation behaves as expected, but anything volume related (sticks, surface, cartoon) is drawn as a very dark surface, see example image at the link below: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nc8vqs42ki5l0zs/vs1.png?dl=0<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.dropbox.com_s_nc8vqs42ki5l0zs_vs1.png-3Fdl-3D0&d=DwMFAg&c=VjzId-SM5S6aVB_cCGQ0d3uo9UfKByQ3sI6Audoy6dY&r=k0gMbcsdOcdbPUNV5tW66KQSZfXL0ewVDPVBp7tqbks&m=BNWMZg9-_ltMi2O9nPtMsSvn01PANBYBXuDSFdm92O4&s=Wug1vVUQk8jevkmDUEfqd8P7wnR8KN82kBpEqNiWbE8&e=> Is there setting in Pymol which can bring volume-related representation to something more normal? Or do you think it’s non-Pymol problem with drivers compatibility and etc issues? Thanks in advance!
