Hello Jared,

thanks for the conformation!!!
I am going to try it out today!

Hi Floris -

Tsjerk is correct. You can set spec_reflect for a selection. Something like:

set spec_reflect, 0, all and not organic

This would turn of specular reflection on anything that’s not a “ligand” atom.

Cheers,
Jared

Hi Floris,

I'm not entirely sure whether these are object/selection or global properties. But have you tried specifying the selection?

set spec_reflect, 0, protein

Haven't tried it myself, though.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

    Dear all,

    My question is if I can set for different molecules in my system,
    how much they reflect light during ray-tracing

    My current system is a protein which contains some cofactors.
    The cofactors are coloured according to their B value and the
    protein is shown as a transparant grey surface.
    When I start Ray-tracing, I get a quite nice picture. The problem
    is however that the transparant surface is reflecting the light,
    and becomes therefore at some places not transparant, which makes
    it kinda difficult to see the cofactors in the protein (which are
    the most important). I played around with all the spec_reflect,
    spec_direct settings. When I set spec_reflect to 0, there are no
    reflections anymore, but the image becomes rather dull.
    I was wondering if it is possible to select somehow to make only
    the cofactors inside the protein reflect the light, but not the
    protein surface. In VMD you can do this for example by making
    molecules from different ‘materials’, e.g. you can make your
    cofactors from a reflective material, and your protein surface
    from a non reflective, transparant material. Is something similar
    possible in Pymol???

    Thanks for your suggestions,

    Floris
