Abstract
Developed primarily for the graphic arts, ray-tracing algorithms offer a high level of flexibility with reference to photorealistic and surrealistic image rendering. The utility of these programs is further enhanced by portability (i.e., compatibility with a number of operating systems), accessibility through various sources, and low cost. This report documents, through the use of existing software, the application of these ray-tracing attributes to molecular graphics on a desktop computer. This application is especially pertinent in view of rapid speed enhancements in personal computers (PCs), which have enabled molecular modeling and dynamics on these systems. In this regard, ray tracing on a PC provides enhanced capabilities for molecular graphics rendering that are potentially equivalent to those achieved by workstations.
