Well, this part is done (for now anyway). What I've done is combined
isosurfacing and media in one rendering. Attached is the result.
The isosurface corresponds to the 80% probability region of the electron
density. The media is specified to display all points whose probability is
greater than 80% and less than 99.9% (i.e. the region outside the
isosurface). This came out pretty good and rendered rather quickly (less
than 2 minutes at 640 by 480). Best speed was obtained by using shadowless
lighting. That reduced the render time by a factor of 10.
Next we do regions of differing colors with mixtures of media and
isosurfaces. That should be kinda cool ... we'll see.
Any comments, observations, suggestions?
Jim
