[PyMOL] Getting rid of shadows

[Vivien S. <viv...@gm...>]

Hi,

 

I'm recoloring my protein in different shades of similar colors, but to
truly see the difference between them, I want to create a view in pyMOL
without any shadows.

For this purpose, I want to make a half sphere behind the camera with
lights, which all emit the same amount of light. I have a hard time figuring
out how to set coordinates and changing the strength of the lights. Do you
maybe have a suggestion on how to solve this?

 

Thanks,

Vivien

Hi Vivian,

I'm not sure if I fully understand your question, but if you want to 
have a picture without shadows, by using "set light_count, 0" 
(https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Light_count) you should be able to 
achieve this.

Hi Rui,

 

Thank you!

I also already figured out that if I turn off the depth cue most of my
problem is solved as well ( “set depth_cue, 0”)

One option is to turn off shadows:

     set ray_shadow, off

Will that work for you?
