Dear Tony,

You can get quite far with the mvCmd command. The parser will get confused if you issue complex commands that way, but there are workarounds.

Example:
You want to rotate one chain only over some movie frames.

Step 1) write a rotate.pml script, containing:
rotate x,5,chain A

Step 2) use it from mvCmd:
mvCmd 1-100,@rotate.pml
movie

For more complex things (like using the sin()-smoothed movement features), you will probably need to hack into rtools/rMovie.py

Yours,

   Kristian

Hello all,
    This may have already been answered but I don't see it in the archives.
I've got rTools working under MacPyMol and the effects are great.  I'm
working with a scene that has many objects loaded at once and I want to have
some of them move independently over each other.  So far I can only get
rTools to apply rotations/translations to the whole scene, but not to
individual objects.  I can probably work around this using the alpha channel
and then pasting the rendered images back onto the original scene in
photoshop, but I'm wondering if there's a command scheme that will allow
object one to rotate and translate according to rTools commands without
altering the other objects in the scene.  Thanks much,
        Tony
