[PyMOL] Focus depth

Dear PyMOL users,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to implement focus depth (also known as
depth of field or DOF) in PyMOL. I have come across several links to DOF and
it appears to be a common feature of ray-tracing programs. I imagine that it
could work like the fog function - possibly in combination with this - to
give an even more realistic feeling of depth/perspective, especially in
close-ups. It is probably most useful for making artistic molecular
graphics, i.e. for ray-traced images, so it wouldn't have to work real-time.

 

Does anyone have ideas on how to implement this in PyMOL (other than
exporting files and rendering them in POVRay)?

 

Best regards,

Thomas Blicher
