Hi,
I was trying to run a little cross-comparison on the rendering
packages supported by VMD. After finally getting most of them
to work, I ran into problems with some of the packages,
- Radiance: produces just a black picture .. any hints ?
- Rayshade: is incredily slow .. but I guess that's just the way
it is ?
- Art: just a note, the comment lines starting with // produce
syntax errors
and have some questions about ..
- Tachyon: the output seems to lack anti-aliasing and is very
shiny. Can this easily be improved ? Also transparency
is not very nice.
- Povray: output seems a bit dark and also very shiny.
- RenderMan: I use BMRT, are there other (non-commercial) options ?
Has anybody combined vmd RIB files with custom shaders ?
I would also be interested in any user-contributed kind of tweaks/
improvements/modifications of the renderings (like eg customized
header files) if anybody wants to share them.
Best wishes,
Marc Baaden
