[PyMOL] Shadows

[Corinne Z. <cze...@gm...>]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to produce the type of image in Pymol=
=20
that is on the Pymol Galleray page (http://pymol.sourceforge.net/pmimag.htm=
l).=20
I would like to know specifically how to make the shadow of the molecule=20
appear in the background. Thank you!

It looks like a CGO (compiled graphics object) behind the molecule, then 
rendered using pov-ray, probably a script floating around to do this 
somewhere on the internets.

Hi Corinne, Sabuj,

You're right with regards to the CGO. An example script (written by
Gareth Stockwell) can be found at
http://md.chem.rug.nl/~tsjerk/Scripts/walls.py. With regards to the
raytracing, don't be fooled, I'd say this was Pymol's internal
raytracer :)

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
