Molecule Studio is the companion and natural extension of all modelling applications.
At present, many commercial and shareware moclecular modelling applications are available for various platforms. However, they have restricted capabilites in creating molecular images of highest quality. The Molecule Studio has extraordinary capabilities for creating high quality molecular images utilizing the NeXTSTEP environment. You can create your model with the usual modelling software and import the data to Molecule Studio. Enhance the appearance of your model in an intuitive way by simple mouse dragging. After that you simply can take a snapshot of the model, either as photorealistic image or as postscript image. Further, by using the drag&drop feature you can import your molecular image into your preferred publishing software. Images can be saved in different (tiff, eps and rib) format.
Photorealistic Images:
Models can be displayed in three different styles:
1. Ball&Stick;
2. Spacefilling;
3. Sticks.
Each style can be further enhanced by a sophisticated lighting system and the possibility of changing color of single atoms and bonds to highlight certain areas of the structure . For illumination, ambient light, distant light and point light are available.
PostScript Images
New in version 1.1 is the capability of creating PostScript images
of the molecular model. A variety of display styles is available for bonds and atoms. Each atom and bond can be individually selected and their attributes changed. Atoms can automatically be assigned with appropriate labels.
Movies
This version also allows a customer to create simple movies of molecular models. These movies can be shown with the application VisChem Movie. VisChem Movie is provided free of charge with each VisChem Molecule Studio application.
Data Format
Molecule Studio imports data in a very simple data format. Nevertheless, the application is able to read more than twenty common molecular modelling and crystallographic data formats.
