Re: [PyMOL] Displaying/defining double bonds in a ligand molecule; lighting problem

Warren, Mark;

thanks for these suggestions concerning "overexposed" images. We have 
dumped Warren's settings into our pymolrc file and are now getting much 
better results...

Best,


Wulf

BTW: we have a little difficulty with the 0.99 version under windows:
colours have become very glary in raytracing, like an overexposed
photograph. Is this a feature, a non-optimised colour scheme or simply
my mistake?


Warren:

It may be necessary to reoptimize the lighting settings.  The new 
defaults are:

set ambient, 0.14
set gamma, 1.0
set direct, 0.45
set reflect, 0.45
set specular_intensity, 0.5
set light_count, 2
set light, [ -0.40000, -0.40000, -1.00000 ]
set spec_reflect, -1
set spec_power, -1
set shininess, 55
