I am a new user for povray. hope to use this tool to visualize my simulation
results.  My system includes one atomic cluster  in a fluid composed of
multiple single-atom molecules.

To view the structure, I wish to use the "transparent" function of povray to
show the liquid molecules. It turns out that this works on my PC,  but this
function completely disappears when I transferred the same code to the Linux
system.
Is there such a function for Linux system, or just something is missing in
the INI file? Can anyone give me a clue on this?

Also, the transparent function does not work perfectly on PC: for no-overlap
case, it is perfect. However, when there are overlaps b/n liquid particles,
the color becoms non-realistically darker. This is not required. Anyway to
solve this problem to achieve the effect of a stone in water ?

What I used is specifying the color of each liquid particle by "rgbt
(0,1,0,0.9)"

Thanks,

Jie
