Hey,

 

you can use the new „Userani“ system. Download the file from:

 

 <http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/script_library/scripts/userani/userani.tcl> http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/script_library/scripts/userani/userani.tcl

 

Than create a file: animate.tcl

---------------

source userani.tcl; #<--this is the file you downloaded

add_section rotx -start first -end last

add_userani rotx rotate x 180

 

print_story

print_timeline

---------------

 

In VMD load your trajectory, in VMD console “source animate.tcl”. Now press “MakeMovie”. On source the renderer is set to dryrun for testing, so to really make a movie you need to select a different renderer. The system also holds a lot other possible animations. Find further usage information under:

Good luck

 

Norman Geist.

Hello VMD users,

 

Under the movie settings, we can select:

Rock and Roll,

Rotation about Y axis

Trajectory

etc.

 

In the dialog, there is a "rotation angle" box where this value can be specified.

I would like to have my movie rotate about the x axis by 180 degrees over the course of the trajectory. How can I accomplish this?

 

Best,

Eric
