CrystalMaker overview
CrystalMaker is an award-winning Mac program for building, displaying and manipulating all kinds of crystal and molecular structures.
CrystalMaker makes it easy to load structural data and generate photo-realistic images, with the option of "out-of-the-screen" 3D images. Models can be displayed immediately in ball-and-stick, thermal ellipsoid, space-filling, wire-frame, stick and polyhedral model types. All aspects of the model can be extensively customized, with a wide range of photo-realistic or stylized "line-art" representations. See our online gallery for 3D movies, rotating crystals, animations, and slideshows.
What’s new in version 11.5.0
- Added a new "Rhombohedral to Hexagonal" option to the Presets popup in the Unit Cell Transformations dialog. This provides a handy way to transform from a primitive, rhombohedral unit cell, to an hexagonal unit cell.
- Lattice plane edges now respect the user-specified opacity. (Previously, the opacity only applied to the colour fill, and not to the edges - which were always shown opaque.)
- Added a new "Hide Visible Atoms" command to the Range menu (which becomes "Show Hidden Atoms"). This is particularly useful when defining crystal shapes.
- The Distance Explorer now saves minimum and maximum search distances as preference keys. The maximum search distance is now reduced from 10 to 5 Å. In addition, the Angles Explorer allows different bin sizes for distances and angles; these are also recorded as defaults.
- Distance and Angle explorers now use a search field and have a close box. These are provided in a header bar, above the list output.
- Improved Distance Explorer mode selection. The segmented button now has titles displayed underneath, via a custom segmented control.
- Distance from plane command now displays signed values (again), apart from the mean and standard deviation, which are computed from unsigned values.

I'm stunned... I can't even afford the Expansion Pack to Diablo III.

Tim is absolutely right-on! This is far and away the best molecular illustration program on the market.

The 5-star rating given to this software by MacWorld is entirely justified. It looks gorgeous, it is remarkably intuitive and produces some structure effects that I have always wanted. I can download cif files from journal web sites and or use those I have from our own research and have a stunning picture in a remarkable short time.
One MINOR complaint: when an incompatible file is used for input (e.g., a cif file on which a publisher has put in extraneous material on the front tend), the program hangs and a "force-quit" is necessary.
