Gzip it and rename the gzipped file with a "wrl" extension. The VRML standard
specifies that the file can be gzipped and still be readable.
You could also turn down the "quality" settings for "sticks" "cylinders"
"cartoons" etc.
Good luck!

Subject: [PyMOL] Reducing VRML file size
Hi folks,
we are currently facing problems with large VRML files. We have a quite complex
.pse file with several molecules in surface representation. Once we save this
.pse file as VRML it has a size of about 1.2 gigabyte. We could reduce the file
size to about 700mb after combining all molecules but the file size is still
too large for our downstream processing. We have already set surface_quality to
0 but this did not further reduce the file size.
We would be grateful for any suggestions.
Best
Rob
