Photorealistic Rendering of structures via Povray and GRETEP (Grenoble Thermal Ellipsoids Plot)

(Late February 2001 and beyond version of Gretep)

Caveate

Due to problems/limitations in the Delphi development system, Gretep needs Windows to be running in (the normally default) Small Fonts Mode; other wise the window sizes and menus can go very strange. For more information on this, refer to the page on Strange Font Size Problems

GRETEP (Grenoble Thermal Ellipsoids Plot) is quite simple to use and is obtained from the LMGP program suite site at http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/lmgp-laugier-bochu/.

In the late February 2001 version of Gretep, you can create Povray files; then spawn Povray to create a Photorealistic rendered structure.

First open the structure of interest and obtain the view of interest; including the desired background colour. In this case, using the "search-fragment" with option of separate colouring of each fragment.

Viewing the structure

Now select the top left ICON and Export a Povary file menu option.

Export a Povary file

Now select the top left ICON and Launch Povray menu option. Then select the required Povray options and Render the structure.

Launching Povray via Gretep

Rendering the structure in Povray

In Povary it is possible to change the resolution to required magnification.
