Finally a useful picture ;-) I think that this one could even go straight into a publication. The models shown come from azurin (1), nitrite reductase (2) and catechol oxidase (3). The three active-site models were generated individually after which the pictures were combined using Adobe photoshop. This program was also used to include the titles. I copied/pasted the information on the camera perspective, lighting, finish, texturing etc. in the POV file from one to another to make sure that every picture was rendered in the same manner. I changed the default X_tex (copper atoms) to my favorite T_Copper_3A texture again and included one reddish light for some, but not too much, atmosphere. It may seem strange, but I got a lot of gratification from making this one compared to some of the more difficult and flashy ones I made previously. I may even put a copy in my bedroom :-) The next one I'll do will be a Moray/POV picture again...
