Tassos, Dirk, sorry for the very late reply, but I've just now finished going through a few hundred list mails that had accumulated.
For converting scenes to movies, Joel Bard's slerpy is really shweet. Check it out at http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Slerpy. What I do is the following - after putting slerpy's two scripts into the current directory and opening pymol: - load session.pse - import slerpy - F1 (or wherever your first scene resides) - sscene (makes slerpy understand scene 1) - F2 - sscene (makes slerpy understand scene 2) - swrite arbitraryName (saves parameters for interpolation) - srecord (does the interpolation) - set ray_trace_frames, 1 (makes sure your images are ray-traced before they are saved) - mpng anotherName (writes out 50 images covering the interpolation from scene 1 to scene 2) - go have a coffee - make movie from images in ImageReady I was amazed. This worked exactly as I had expected. The most taxing part was walking to the coffee machine. Thanks, Joel! Andreas On 3/30/07, Dirk Kostrewa <dirk.kostr...@psi.ch> wrote:
Hi Tassos, I found the following article, but haven't tried it on my own: http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Scene I hope this helps! Best regards, Dirk.
