Hi Matthias,

Yes, ray tracing transparent cartoons should be as simple as:

set cartoon_transparency, 0.5, objName


For example:

# fetch a few proteins

fetch 1rx1 1rx2, async=0

# color them separately

color cyan, 1rx1
color firebrick, 1rx2

# set the transparency on 1rx1

set cartoon_transparency, 0.5, 1rx1

# the blue cartoon should be transparent
# in the ray traced image

as cartoon
zoom i. 43
ray

Cheers,

-- Jason

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
