I commited a simple change to revision 8585. After creating the povray file, you should set the value: noShadows = 'false'; in the .pov file. Run povray again on the .ini file and you will get the same picture, but with shadows. Eventually this could/should be configurable via jmol, either as an

Thanks, Pim, I didn't think of hermiteLevel for nucleic acid cartoon display! Makes a huge difference. However, the absence of shadows is still unsolved. Maybe Bob can elaborate? Frieda On Nov 7, 2007, at 1:46 PM, pim schravendijk wrote: You should set: hermitelevel =5; in your jmol s

I am working on creating a pov-ray image as nice as those Bob posted at http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/povray.htm When I run Bob's povray scripts in povray, I get the same beautiful images he posted. My tRNA povray script exported from Jmol comes out disappointingly crude-l
