- I'm working on an application where molecular interactions are
- mathematically modeled and the atomic orientations are captured as PDB
- files and output at various stages in the interactions. These files are
- then to be rendered to bitmaps and output to video tape using a Video
- Toaster.
-
- We have a simplistic renderer for the PDB files, but I'm curious as to
- whether or not there exists a renderer (a ray tracer or the like) that can
- read PDB files, or if there exist conversion programs to get these files
- into something that a renderer can read.
-
- We have the same problem with MSF files from Polygen's Quanta.
-
- Thanks for any information,
