Hello Fellow PyMolers,
I have a cool script to make a movie.
here are the first 3 lines and last few lines:
from pymol import movie
from pymol import util
cmd.do("run ../../scripts/camera_view_travel.py")
.
.
.
movie.rock(420,520,angle=15,phase=0,loop=0,axis='y')
cmd.rewind()
cmd.frame(999999)
#
#### RAYTRACE SETTINGS for light background ####
#cmd.set("antialias","1")
#cmd.set("spec_power","100")
#cmd.set("spec_refl","1.0")
#cmd.set("direct","0.02")
#cmd.set("reflect_power","1.7")
#cmd.set("gamma","1.80")
#
#### start everything HIGH quality ####
#cmd.set("depth_cue","1")
#cmd.set("ray_trace_fog","1")
#cmd.set("ray_trace_frames","1")
cmd.set("cache_frames","0")
cmd.mpng("test")
I have commented out most all the "quality" settings until I can figure
this thing out.
When I submit my script on the command line as follows:
pymol -cq mymovie.py >&! pymol.log&
I get the following errors (one error message for each frame):
...
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
MoviePNG-Error: Missing rendered image.
PyMOL: normal program termination.
My script works fine when launched from the GUI, but when I try to
submit it as batch mode I'm getting all these rendering errors.
I would really like to get this to work so I can split up my rendering
job over several machines.
Should I be importing other modules at the very beginning?
Thanks,
Scott
