Raster3D is a set of tools for generating high quality raster images of
|
|
proteins or other molecules.
|
|
|
|
The core program renders spheres, triangles, cylinders, and quadric
|
|
surfaces with specular highlighting, Phong shading, and shadowing. It
|
|
uses an efficient software Z-buffer algorithm which is independent of
|
|
any graphics hardware.
|
|
|
|
Ancillary programs process atomic coordinates from PDB files into
|
|
rendering descriptions for pictures composed of ribbons, space-filling
|
|
atoms, bonds, ball+stick, etc.
|
|
|
|
Raster3D can also be used to render pictures composed in other programs
|
|
such as Molscript in glorious 3D with highlights, shadowing, etc. Output
|
|
is to pixel image files with 24 bits of color information per pixel.
