CHEMISTRY
At
one point, in my college career, I was a chemistry major. But I
was already dabbling in computer graphics and my advisor in the
chemistry department, hired me to make some ratraced movies of organic
chemical reactions, something I'd suggested to him, as I thought the
CSG of Polyray (the renderer I used at the time) was well suited for the
sticks and balls of organic chemistry visualization.
This
was created using a DOS program called Polyray written by a (very
smart) guy named Alexander Enzmann. This program is no longer
developed, maintained or widely available, though it you really want
it, you can usually find it somewhere. Although with the advent
of Povray and Blender, I don't know why you'd want to.
Anyway, without further ado, here they are! Note that these are in the fli/flc format.
