[gmx-users] Questions about Visualization

[Maik Goette]

Hi

First: There is a VMD-Mailinglist available. I am sure, you will get
much more help there.
Second: If I am right, its not too hard to make a movie of 10 PDBs in
VMD. But, if I remember correctly, every PDB-File has to have the same
number of atoms and the same atom types...
Then, you should be able to use the Movie-Plugin to make your movie.
Perhaps, you also need to RMSD your files, but I am not sure...
Third: There is a nice "new" visualization tool called YASARA. The
viewer is for free, but I don't know, if you are able to use movie
making functions in it. The "commercial" version is still quite cheap,
and my personal opinion is, that this program is one of the best
free/low-cost tools, I have seen...BTW, the guy who wrote that program
is a really nice fellow ;)
