Hi Tsjerk!!,
Yes,, it is really an oldie.. ( I tried to patch, but the new code is cpp
and not c anymore for povray, so I left the oldie goldie ). All I need is to
get close to pymol trace.. i.e. the shine which is missing in my links to
the pictures in my previous mail (this is just a very simpl
Hi Abhi,
Oooh, that's an oldie alright. I only vaguely recollect that coming in
:) But you need to patch POV-Ray for it... Anyway, the mesh2 object
also allows for smoothly colored triangles, so in that sense there's

later.
By the way, you only sent this mail this afternoon. Don't expect

I am trying to use povray tracer with pymol. I got povray and installed it
and tried to follow the instructions for the patch.. The patch seems too old
written in 1999 and the current povray code is cpp and not c. so I skipped
that part.. and now when I set smooth_color_triangle = 1, I get the
