Lucas, If you'd like, please send me your session file and I can take a look at ray tracing it or making it possible for you to ray trace it. I did a small study a few years ago and found that if you can hide/remove atoms for PyMOL that won't make a difference in the scene, that could help you out. If you don't want to mess with it, feel free to send me the session file and I'll take a look.
Last, try "help faster" in PyMOL for some more hints. -- Jason On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 2:16 PM, Lucas Santos <lusasan...@yahoo.com.br> wrote: > Hi Jason, > > Sorry for taking that long to answer you, I was out of town. > Well the picture that I have has 1441X814 pixels, which is way below your > 4000X4000 pixels.
