Shape video and control camera pose using Chimerax
browncanele opened this issue · comments
Hello, thanks for yoru amazing works.
I am just curious about making shape videos as yours in the project pages.
I tried visualizing the shape with Chimerax.
But I can only control the camera pose with the mouse with drags.
Can you let me know how to make shape video and do a fine control of shapes in Chimerax?

you can try the command movie record, and then command like turn y 1 180, controlling the camera. Actually, you can click the spin movie, and use the command like shown at the right side to control the camera as you want ~
@DhlinV Thanks for the insights! As I know,
spin movieis the same asturn y 1 360, which doesn't include the x direction to make the view "rotate in both directions" around the face. Do you happen to know the command to make videos likeVideo 2here? Thanks!
You need to use command movie record, start to record the movie, after that, rolling the scene as you want like turn x 1 180 or roll x 1 1. I have a very inefficient way to make movie is that before recording movie, choose the tajectory of views, using view name px to record these views, after that, using fly p1 N1 p2 N2 p3 N3 p4 ... after movie record (N be the number of frames between views)
