QuteMol For Linux

QuteMol is an open source, interactive, high quality molecular visualization system. QuteMol exploits the current GPU capabilities through OpenGL shaders to offers an array of innovative visual effects.

QuteMol visualization techniques are aimed at improving clarity and an easier understanding of the 3D shape and structure of large molecules or complex proteins.

Here are some key features of "QuteMol":

� Real Time Ambient Occlusion � Depth Aware Silhouette Enhancement � Ball and Sticks, Space-Fill and Liquorice visualization modes � High resolution antialiased snapshots for creating publication quality renderings � Interactive rendering of large molecules and protein (100k atoms) � Standard PDB input

QuteMol was developed by Marco Tarini and Paolo Cignoni of the Visual Computing Lab at ISTI - CNR.

What's New in This Release:
