Hi Elaine,
Is there a way to change the depth cueing gradually using command line in either chimera or chimeraX? If possible, then it would be a great way to emphasize on a specific part of the protein while making a chimera movie.
Hi Prathvi, I don't know how good it would look, but there are options to adjust depth-cueing in the ChimeraX lighting command https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/lighting.html
...that you could embed in the "perframe" command for gradual changes https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/perframe.html
It would require you to do some experimentation and reading about how to use perframe.
Chimera has analogous commands, where depthcue control is in the "set" command. https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/midas/set.html https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/midas/perframe.html
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

I will try that. Thanks Elaine
