Hi Thomas, Just a as a note. A focal blur is not like a fog, but results from sort of averaging a series of images, with the in-focus plane being well-defined and the planes in front and in the back blurred according to the distance from the in-focus plane (and the aperture). Not completely trivial to implement... And PovRay usually does an excellent job for me :)

Dear PyMOL users, I was wondering if it is possible to implement focus depth (also known as depth of field or DOF) in PyMOL. I have come across several links to DOF and it appears to be a common feature of ray-tracing programs. I imagine that it could work like the fog function – possibly in combination with this – to give an even more realistic feeling of depth/perspective, especially in close-ups. It is probably most useful for making artistic molecular graphics, i.e. for ray-traced images, so it wouldn't have to work real-time. Does anyone have ideas on how to implement this in PyMOL (other than exporting files and rendering them in POVRay)?
