No it won't because you're not rotating 360 degress. Instead, you're splitting 720 degrees of rotation about two axes which are constantly changing (relative to original orientation). Try this instead: mset 1 x72 movie.nutate 1,72,20 > > Warren, > could you make available the script you used to make the lambda > demo movie that came with PyMOL?

I think it can be found in examples/devel/D01lambda.py (or something similar). Cheers, Warren
