Hi Afonso, Can you tell which newspaper? And does it show the date? :) Seriously, it's difficult to make out more, unless you give more information, like a link to the image, or the series of commands you used to get to the point you're at. What you describe might be caused by two interfering surf

Hi Tsjerk, I found the reason of the problem. It wasn't a texture error (I checked that before) but for some strange reason if I have the same molecule loaded twice in cartoon with 40% gray and if both are visible I will get that effect. PS : the reason why I have the same pdb open is make it easi

I suspect Afonso's talking about a moire / halftone dot pattern like the one at this link: http://www.uvm.edu/~hag/presentations/maze2004/moire.html I have no idea what would cause this, but if you have two identical copies of a molecule, in the same representation, strange things can happen.

Hi Afonso, I haven't seen this before. It seems to be a different texture. Did you touch any of the settings (like ray_texture)? Surely you didn't just use 'ray' after you loaded the structure. It wouldn't have shown up as cartoon to begin with. If you give the full set of commands you used, it wi

I forgot a step in my command list before; the copy of the molecule has to be a different color from the parent molecule. (Perhaps that was obvious, but I thought I should state it.) This may be why you see it some times and not others: you have to have both copies with their visibility turned

Dear Nicolas, As for the semi-transparent sphere, there are a number of ways to do that. One option: You could create a new object named new_obj with an atom at the center point and use "alter new_obj, vdw=radius" to make the sphere. Then use "set sphere_transparency, 0.5, new_obj" Alternatively
