Re: [Chimera-users] Chimera: Myosin thick filament movie
Hi Rogelio, The myosin thick filament movie in the Chimera animation gallery was made in 2006 using a 700 line python program I wrote. Fortunately Chimera animation capabilities are much better now, so I've made a Chimera command script that makes the same movie in Chimera 1.5.2 (Jan 2011), about 150 commands. I've attached the script. It of course requires the myosin data files to work. So I've put the script and data files in myomovie.zip and put a link to that in the animation gallery with the myosin animation (will appear after web site is rebuilt tonight). http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/animations/animations.html To create the movie you open the myomovie.py Chimera session then open the myomovie.cmd command script. Rendering this movie takes about 15 minutes (for about 70 seconds of final video, 1760 frames) using the high quality supersample 3 option set in the script. The myosin movie is somewhat complex. There are about a half dozen simpler movie making command scripts with links on the animation gallery page. We don't have a separate movie scripts web page, although that is a nice idea. There is a movie making tutorial on the Chimera tutorials page http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/tutorials/tutorials.html and there are details about all the commands in the Chimera User's Guide http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/movies.html Tom
Hi Tom,
I have been recently looking at the animation gallery of Chimera and I was wondering if I could get a copy of the script used to make the Myosin movie, Do you guys have a repository of scripts used for the displayed movies?
I am working with a helical map and I would like to try to implement a similar animation for my maps,
thanks a lot for your help and consideration

Elaine pointed out a few more movie command script examples: Hi Tom, Just thought I'd mention that the "movies" page in the User's Guide, the bottom URL you gave, has a "Movie Command File Examples" section that links to a few files and says there are more in the Animation Gallery. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/movies.html#examples Elaine
