The Official PovChem Distribution Page

PovChem version 1.00 is still available for free here, though!
I've finally had a few spare days to get this version out! :) Version 1.00 has
many new features, including a configuration file so that there is no longer any
need to recompile to change options - all options are also now available to
people who download only the executable. I have improved the machinery for
creating animations, and added and optimized a number of other more minor
features.
Please see the manual for a more complete list of
features. The manual is done now, too! In there you will also find information
on how to use the program, how to report bugs to me, known bugs, etc.
Please see the legal information section of the
manual before continuing.
These are links to download PovChem:
Please report any problems with these distribution files directly to me.
Remember that you'll need to get and install POV-Ray
in order to make your images.
Here are some sample PDB-format molecules just for you to test and explore
PovChem's abilities:
- cyclohexane.pdb is just
cyclohexane (a small molecule).
- G-host.pdb is a shameless bit of
self promotion! :) It is a guanine host that was part of my Ph.D. research
(a small-medium size molecule) and that has some hydrogen bonds for you to
play with.
