I am trying out the outline setting in the materials window to make my rendering look more cel-shaded. I am would like to have a strong outline on the new cartoon representation, and t almost looks the way I want it to. I turn the outline slider to a maximum of 4, but the outline is still quite thin. I use the outline width, but it increases the shading more than I want. I have a attached what I have done with my settings and an example of what I want from Chimera. Yes, I could just use Chimera, but I'd like to get this to work in VMD as well. Is there a way to increase just the outline setting (not the outline width slider) beyond a maximum of 4 to look as thick as the Chimera example but without the thick shading that the outline width slider creates in my VMD example? Thanks!
