Hi, I would like to create a movie where my molecules are moving at the same time that the camera is moving in/around/though them.
I have been using Slerpy to get the movement effects that i would like but I would also like to make the molecules undergo translation/rotation functions relative to one another. Slerpy also has this capability but limited for what I would like to do. Using the Slerpy 'saction' command I can have the option to change elements in the scene but then Slerpy will interpolate 50 frames until the next shot and I don't get to coordinate my molecular movements with my camera movements. I can approach this if I shorten the default frame number in slerpy (take steps of 5 or something like that) but then I don't get to take advantage of Slerpy's smooth camera motion. Although there may be many ways to do what I would like to do, does anyone have any experience with outputting the view matrix (get_view) for each of slerpy's camera positions? If so, I could do a dry run with Slerpy, use get_view to output the view matrix and then combine each view with a rotate/translate function in order to get the effect I am looking for. The only problem is that I haven't figured out how to do that. Perhaps someone on this list already has? Hmmm. I think the most logical way would be if there were some script that could get_view for each frame of the final movie. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. best, zach cp Thank You Warren; Pymol is a great program and the PyMolWiki has become a fantastic resource for newbies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ PyMOL-users mailing list (PyMOL-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Info Page: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pymol-users Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net
