Is there some similarly simple way to skip the rendering? I imagine rendering is wasting a ton of time in his case... Elaine
Hi Elaine, Klaas, You can just generate the POVray scene file *.pov and options files *.ini and not do the rendering by editing Chimera (version 1.2499) file chimera/share/chimera/printer.py adding a line after line 1091 changing inifile.close() if raytraceKeepInput: to inifile.close() return if raytraceKeepInput: Then restart Chimera and use movie recorder to make the frames. As Eric pointed out this would be simpler if there was a way to execute a command on every Chimera frame. You could then use the new "export" command to create the *.pov file without rendering it. Tom
