[PyMOL] Question about ray tracing, set_view, surface smoothness
Dear all, I wish to ray trace my object so it looks nice. I have chosen a mesh as surface representation. I did viewport 1024, 768 ray 1024, 768 But the mesh is black afterwards and not anymore blue. Is there a chance to keep the color and have less dominant lines for the mesh? Is there a chance to view the object in question for example in the XY, YZ plane? Are there somewhere easy rotation matrix available? I tried to bring my object manually into the YZ plane view, for example, but it works only halfhearted. It would be nice to be able to tell pymol in a very easy way which view I would like to see the object. Thank you for your patience.

Re: [PyMOL] Question about ray tracing, set_view, surface smoothness
Hi Gudrun, But the mesh is black afterwards and not anymore blue. You may want to check your light position, or try a slighter blue. Is there a chance to keep the color and have less dominant lines for the mesh? I'm not artistically skilled enough to know about less dominant lines, but the mesh_width setting can be used to make thinner (or thicker) lines. Is there a chance to view the object in question for example in the XY, YZ plane? Are there somewhere easy rotation matrix available? I tried to bring my object manually into the YZ plane view, for example, but it works only halfhearted. It would be nice to be able to tell pymol in a very easy way which view I would like to see the object. The turn/rotate commands can be used fairly easily for 90 degree turns; but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking about. Pete -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
