Re: [ccp4bb] ccp4mg povray rendering

Thanks for the advice. You were right in that the background designator was not the only thing defining the "background". The fog designator was the problem, as it apparently put a black fog behind my molecule. Once I removed it, I got a nice transparent background (original header below). #in

Hi all, I am generating images using ccp4mg (which is wonderful by the way), but I can not figure out how to generate a povray input file that will yield an image with a transparent background. Getting a transparent background using the screen snapshot works fine, but I would like to have a rend
