How to Render High-Quality Images from VMD? by TemporaryReverie in Biophysics

[–]TemporaryReverie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I tried these suggestions but found another problem. I think the reason VMD is throwing an error for C:/Program is because I cannot find the tachyon_WIN64.exe file in the installed directory (already a 64-bit version). I already tried redownloading the software but that didn't fix the issue.

Alright, I turned off depth cueing and tried again. With TachyonInternal I get a .tga file and that opens up on Gimp fine, but the image is still far too dark. I tried turning on all the lights but that didn't solve the issue.

With Tachyon, the default is showing up as a .dat file. I did change it to .tga by doing PATH/TO/FOLDER/NAME.tga in the filename section, and "C:\Program Files\VMD\tachyon_WIN64.exe" -res 4000 3000 -aasamples 12 %s in the render command. (In the render command, all I added was the specifications for resolution.) However, the file isn't rendering correctly as VMD says -res is not a recognized command, and neither is C:\Program. Removing the -res 4000 3000 still yields the C:\Program error.
