Hi,

I've been playing around a lot with depthcue-ing but I can't get it to do quite what I would like.

I want to display a protein structure, with a focus on one zone and a "heavy" depthcue to have a strong "fog" hiding much of the background (without deleting the residues in the back).

my script includes:
lighting full  #(sometimes I use soft too)
lighting shadows true intensity 0.3
lighting qualityOfShadows finer
lighting depthcue true depthCueStart 0.1 depthCueEnd 1.0


First, I have selected one residue and setting the rotation around it by using "cofr sel"

My max depthcue is with "
depthCueStart 0.1 depthCueEnd 1.0". I've tried to change these numbers in many different ways, including negative or very large numbers) but I can't get it to be thicker.

Could you help me please. I missed the meaning of these values, so I'm blind on their use.
Thank you
Vincent
