Hi I try to create an HQ image with VMD with the Tachyon option, but when I try to render an error message appear when the molecules are drawing with polyhedra method.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Info) Rendering current scene to 'vmdscene.dat' ...

Info) Tachyon file generation finished

Info) Executing post-render cmd '"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMD\\tachyon_WIN32.exe"

-aasamples 12 vmdscene.dat -format BMP -o vmdscene.dat.bmp -res 3335 3450' ...

Tachyon Parallel/Multiprocessor Ray Tracer Version 0.99.1

Parse Error:

Encountered a syntax error in file vmdscene.dat

Expected to find N1

Actually found: #QO

Error occured at or prior to file offset 801, line 35

Error position is only approximate, but should be close

When I changed the drawing method everything works fine. I dont know what the error means.
