Description

This script creates fancy figures by introducing a focal blur to the image. The object at the origin will be in focus.

Load the script using the run command. Execute the script using PyMOL syntax:

FocalBlur aperture=2.0,samples=20,ray=1

or using python syntax:

FocalBlur(aperture=2.0,samples=20,ray=1)

For additional options, see the script comments.

When using raytracing, the image creation will take n times longer than normal, where n is the number of samples.
The aperture is related to the aperture on a camera.

FocalBlur uses the Python Image Library (PIL), a necessary components of PIL is missing in the Windows version of PyMOL
There is a bug when not using ray tracing with the free version of ..→
