Hi Faisal - In addition to the `specular`, `ray_trace_mode`, and `ray_trace_gain` settings Blaine pointed out, you can also adjust the `direct` and `ambient` lighting settings, as well as `light_count` (which I believe only affects direct and specular lighting, not ambient). For example, these worked pretty well for me:
``` set ray_trace_mode, 3 set ray_trace_gain, 0 set specular, 0 set direct, 0 set ambient, 0.9 ``` Note that you'll have to ray trace (`ray`) to see the outlines. Also it looks like the tRNA image on the CCSB Illustrate site uses slightly different colors for different parts of the molecule (phosphate, sugar, base), which is a nice effect. Hope that helps.
