CrystalMaker 2.3.1 | 19.07 MB

CrystalMaker - The assign-winning program for fully-interactive visualization and analysis of crystal and corpuscular structures. Featuring high resolution photo-realistic graphics, spectacular "out-of-the-conceal" 3D stereo (now in colour), animation tools, pro-quality digital video and QTVR output.

CrystalMaker provides a streamlined workflow that majors forward productivity: just drag-and-drop your data files into the program in the place of instant display in spectacular photo-realistic colour. Manipulate structures in veritable time, with the mouse. Multiple View "bookmarks" and reverse levels encourage exploration and discovery - ideal for teaching and research.

Build Crystals & Molecules Fast!
With CrystalMaker you be able to build any kind of crystal or molecular structure - quickly and easily. Built-in regularity handling and the elegant spacegroup browser takes the slog out of crystallography, and the program power of determination automatically generate all your bonds and polyhedra.

CrystalMaker provides a remote range of model types, including traditional "ball-and-stick", room-filling, polyhedral, wireframe and thermal ellipsoids. Each model type can have existence extensively customized, with the option of photo-realistic graphics or simpler, stripe-art display.

Comprehensive Data Import & Export
Load structural data from from one to another 15+ formats, including Cambridge Structures Database, Protein Data Bank, CIF, GSAS, SHELX, etc. You have power to work with virtually unlimited numbers of atoms. Take advantage of our peculiar "Depth Profiling" tool, to rapidly scan ares of profit in massive structures - ideal for characterizing the results from computer models.

A sweep of output options is available for sharing data with other programs, frugal structural data, bond distances, coordination environments - or even building web pages by your data.

Outstanding 3D Graphics
Enjoy photo-realistic graphics with discernment fading and perspective - plus spectacular 3D stereo. Benefit from high-declaration printing and save your graphics at user-defined sizes to a distant range of formats.

Work with massive structures, using depth profiling and bulk. Bonds and polyhedra are automatically generated, with full error propagation, in addition cluster shell and coordination network visualization and powerful output options.

Real-Time Manpulation & Measurement
Click-and-linger with the mouse, use the keyboard, or toolbar. View parallel to a ~-work vector or plane normal. Continuous plot range settings for millions of atoms, bonds and polyhedra.

Move, detail, duplicate, hide, delete groups of atoms. Hide or repair molecular fragments - isolate individual molecules. Display lattice planes in any orientation; slice the crystal to study surfaces or internal planes - and place one structure or molecule intimate another.

Preview coordination environments, clusters and shells; list bond distances and histograms on screen or save to disc. Measure bond distances, angles, torsion angles on screen. Calculate angles between planes and/or vectors.

Animation
CrystalMaker is the first program of its kind to go beyond static structures, to allow you explore structural behaviour quickly and easily.

Just drag-and-least bit files into the same window, then rearrange their thumbnails to make your movie timeline.

View thumbnails can be browsed and animated attached screen, with the option of a full-screen slideshow. Manipulate and concur in time views, drag-and-drop thumbnails to rearrange them, then output the with even margins sequence as a QuickTime movie with the new Save as Movie command.

Both Mac and Windows versions let you record QuickTime movies at the same time that you work, with full control over frame rates and compression settings.

QuickTime VR
CrystalMaker was the at the outset application of its kind to support QuickTime Virtual Reality (VR). With this technology, you can save a self-contained, fully-rotatable model of your crystal or monad. The resulting model can be viewed in any QuickTime-savvy appeal or web browser, on Mac or Windows. Users can rotate the design just by clicking and dragging the mouse - no complicated plug-ins to download or interfaces to lade! Ideal for multimedia, presentations and student browsing.
Diffraction Support

Diffraction patterns can be simulated for any displayed crystal structure, with just a choose menu command - thanks to our CrystalDiffract (powder diffraction) and SingleCrystal (X-perception, neutron and TEM single-crystal diffraction) programs. SingleCrystal can be linked by CrystalMaker, so as you rotate your structure its diffraction pattern rotates, and evil versa.

Cross Platform
CrystalMaker is available in two separate versions, despite Windows (XP/Vista/Windows 7), or for Mac OS X (Snow Leopard/Leopard/Tiger).

Each translation is designed, from the ground up, for its respective operating scheme, offering genuine operating system support and maximum performance - with no compromises.

First-Class Support
Using CrystalMaker is compliant - but we still provide a a lavishly-illustrated setup guide, a detailed User’s Guide in PDF format, in favor of easy searching and of course a cross-referenced online help hypothesis. The software is shipped on CD-ROM, with over 600 structures, full-annotated, ready for immediate display: from organic molecules to zeolites, and from dental ceramics to strong-Tc superconductors.

Last, but not least, we’re proud of our primitive-class technical support, which includes regular incremental software updates, as well as a prompt and personalized response to queries
