Povscript is a program which reads in parameter files for molscript and writes out instruction files for POV-ray. Online documentation is available, and recommended as more up-to-date.

The above is a colored model of the protein "ras" created by povscript. It was made by the following steps.
First, setup variables and paths:
setup povray (or source /srv/local/setup/povray.set) setup povscript (or source /srv/local/setup/povscript.set)
Now make the molecule-specific povray input file:
cp /srv/local/povscript/examples/ras_shiny.in .
cp /srv/local/povscript/examples/ras.pdb .
molscript -in ras_shiny.in -povray -out ras_shiny.pov
Now use Povray to generate the image:
povray +A +V +Iras_shiny.pov +FN16 +W600 +H600 +Oras_shiny.png
View the image:
display ras_shiny.png &
Dan Peisach has written a short primer on POV-ray files.
