Lovely. I still want to see something like this with the electron fields 
rendered instead of the connector sticks. Maybe it would look too 
confusing.. or maybe it could look very pretty...

Hi Nekar,

i also would like to render electron density-maps, because that's what You
measure in a X-ray diffraction experiment. But up to now i didn't find a
way to convert the different slices of fourier-maps or electron density
maps to DF3 format. It would be very nice to render the unit cell, or even
only the asymmetric unit in a way that it represents the electron density
in the space by illuminating clouds. If someone have a good idea i would
appreciate a lot to hear it.

Best ragards, Shu

Hi EagleSun,

hmmmm stereo view. It should be no problem to render one image with a
camera-position left and one with the position right to the centered normal
vector to the molecule. But the difficulties will start when i need to merge
both images into one using red and blue colors. I think the idea is good but
it's not possible for the complete image including the background. But for
the single molecule alone maybe i can achieve a good looking steroview.

ORTEP3 is a program for displaying the Thermal ellipsoids (ORETP = Oak Rich
Thermal Ellipsoid Plot) of determined X-ray crystal structures. These
ellipsoids represent the space occupied by the electrons of a atomic
nucleous with 50 % propability level. It has nothing to do with POVRAY
except the fact that is exportes very nice *.pov files of the structural
data of a molecule. You can only use it to converst different molecular
structure file formats into each others but You cannot interconvert models
from other sources.

Best regards, Shu.

Put the two images next to each other, with the right-eye image on the 
left, and look at it cross-eyed. Then you don't need glasses or anything.

I was thinking if you have the mathematical formula for electrion density, 
you could use it as a function for media density.

Perhaps even a simple semi-transparent surface shell for a containing volume 
at an arbitrary confidence level?

I was delighted to see that molecular models with electron densities have 
been done with POV

Nice. It's a pity MolArch is not available to the hobbiest though.

 How about a media density function based on

I'm not sure how to use !n in Pov-Ray though.

n! is factorial. It's the product of all integers lower or egual to the value of 
n: n*(n-1)*(n-2)*....*1
0! = 1 by deffinition.
1! = 1
2! = 2
3! = 6
4! = 24
5! = 120
6! = 720
7! = 5 040
8! = 40 320
9! = 362 880
10! = 3 628 800
11! = 39 916 800
.
.
.
You can use a macro to make the calculations, or use an aray that you fillup 
with the results.
