Brief Program Description |
VMD is a molecular visualization program for displaying, animating, and analyzing large biomolecular systems using 3-D graphics and built-in scripting. For more information on the supported file formats, please visit the VMD web site. |
Areas of Application |
VMD provides the ability to render molecular scenes using external programs such as ray tracers and commercial animation packages. This feature can be used to attain higher image quality than is normally possible using the built-in OpenGL rendering features in VMD. |
Implementation and Access |
VMD version 1.8.3 is available on the machine Columbus-lx22 (columbus-lx22.rl.ac.uk) interactively by typing the command $CHEM/runvmd. Please note that users must have an X-windows emulator (e.g. Exceed, X11) to be able to use VMD. |
