Given all the artistic uses for povray, I thought the group might be
interested in the results of a scientific use.  I've just uploaded a whole
bunch of POV rendered images into the Research Section of my web site.  The
URL to the page that has the links to the images is attached to this
posting.

If you have a chance, I'd appreciate any comments you might have on the
information and its presentation.  Note: the animations are rather large (1
to 5 MB) so expect a long download if you have a low bandwidth connection.

Enjoy!

Jim

Um ... it might help if you gave us the URL.

He has given the URL -- but uuencoded, which is IMO not very suited for
a ascii text. Anyway, here it is:
http://www.kressworks.com/Research/Quantum%20Chemistry/Unimolecular%20Decomposition%20Reactions/Amine%20oxides/N,N%20Dimethyl,%20N%20Ethyl%20Amine%20Oxide/N,N%20Dimethyl,%20N%20Ethyl%20Amine%20Oxide.html

	I can't understand why he didn't just type it out into the message body.

I've recently used POVRay to visualize a groundwater flow problem --
even created an animation of a fly-around.  Very impressive tools.  And
.FLC seems so much superior to .avi or .mpg for color fidelity. 

Results are not not on the net right now. Sorry....  Anyone else doing
this kind of thing?

I'm sorry for the difficulty with the URL. Using outlook express is a real
pain to send URLs.  I've tried typing them into the text, sending them as
attachments, etc.  It seems no matter what I try, somebody can't get it to
work.

Anybody got a reliable solution to this?  I'd love to know one.

You could start at http://www.kressworks.com/Research/Quantum
Chemistry/Unimolecular Decomposition Reactions/  and then click on the N,N
diethyl link.

Please let me know if THIS works!

Thanks.

Jim

Well, that didn't work either.

It's obvious that plain text mode breaks the URL at a space.  So does HTML
mode.  Than means it can't be typed in.  So, please try this:

click on this link
http://www.kressworks.com/Research/

then, on the page that comes up, choose the Quantum Chemistry link

then, on the page that comes up, choose the Unimolecular Decomposition
Reactions link

then, on the page that comes up, choose the N,N dimethly, N ethyl ... link

I really appreciate anyone who goes through all this and give a comment.

I am a naval architect and tried some scientifically correct modelling of a
sea surface. Got stuck on strange patterns due to interference. It would be
very handy for such applications if POV supported something like an
isosurface.

I'm using Outlook Express and had no problem visiting the web site.  I think
the better solution is to avoid the spaces in the url from the first place.
Substituting spaces with underscores "_" would make everyone happy I guess.

I guess that you don't know the "isosurface patch" for POV-Ray. Despite its
name it also handles parametric functions. I have encountered some minor
problems, but most of the time it does a good job. The URL is:
http://www.public.usit.net/rsuzuki/e/povray/iso/index.html
Executables for Windows and Macintosh are available. If needed I can
send you the binary file for a Sun Workstation.
