My advice is not to try to figure out all this stuff by yourself, but rather to try the new demos and then ask questions via the mailing list. Or, simply wait until I get some time later this month or next to update the documentation. T Warren, I thought you had recently hired a writer to

2003-06-03 Thread Warren L. DeLano
Mike, Triangle rendering isn't as simple as you might think -- you need to make sure your triangles have the correct handedness (vertex ordering), and if you are trying to create a surface, then you need to blend the normals at each vertex. I left transparent CGOs out of this re

For lots of image conversion/movie-making on your Windows PC -- including direct import of PNG sequences -- another piece of software to consider is Logipole's "Konvertor" file convertor. I used this a while ago when I was trying to go backwards from what most people are describing here (i.e.,

PyMOL Users. Yes, 0.88 has been released. However, many of the new features are not yet documented, so I wouldn't necessarily rush out to download it and expect to immediately utilize all new functionality. Honestly, this release is a bit premature, but I had a firm external dea

Michael, Actually, much more affordable than Premiere these days is Quicktime Pro ($30) which can, on the Mac only (I think), directly import a sequence PNG files from PyMOL and write out compressed Quicktime or AVI files. If you're tied to Windows, I don't yet know of a better

Micheal - I'd suggest using quicktime pro. I have both adobe premiere & qtpro and found that qtpro did a superior job with much less hassle. qtpro can produce the sorenson encoded (mac friendly) as well as the avi format (pc&powerpoint friendly). There is also a free package out there calle

Scott's right, Ray traced labels are currently not worth the trouble it takes to create them. If you really need it, the "representations" demo does this, and you can find the code in modules/pymol/wizard/demo.py in the latest release (0.88). But my recommendation is to do exactl
