[Chimera-users] surface/4623 (Chimera surfacing failure)

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Jeff,
	Chimera doesn't communicate depth-cuing/fog info to POV-Ray yet.  I  
will open a bug report about it with you included on the recipient  
list.  What you may want to do in the interim to get a better looking  
image is to reposition the lights in the scene to reduce the  
shadows.  You use Tools->Viewing->Lights to bring up the interface  
for position the key (bright) and fill (dim) lights.  I've attached  
two images where I've done that.  In both the key light is just  
slightly overhead and centered.  The fill light in one is coming from  
slightly below and centered, and in the other the fill light is off  
(you have to go to the "advanced" section of the lighting interface  
to turn off lights).

--Eric
