I'm trying to render a 70S ribosome molecule (about
140,000 atoms) with povray by using a "make_pov.py"
script as the one described by Scott Classen
earlier on in this thread. I got the whole process
to work with a line model of the 70S but when I
create a cartoon model of the ribosome pymol crashes
at the make_pov('povray.inp') stage. Here is the
output of a run with the new beta version
