I had a few hours to kill at the Sun User's Group meeting yesterday, so I wandered around the vendor booths. Imagine my surprise when I came across a booth demonstrating chemical design software! Here's a brief rundown - this does not imply my endorsement of this product in any way. I only had a few minutes to look at it. Running on a SparcStation 1 it seemed a little slow, and it was pretty clear that they were just going through a canned demo, not actually doing any computation. The "3D" display was not true 3D, just depth-cued. They had the choice of ball and stick, skeleton, or dot-cloud representation (and more) for atoms/bonds. Balls were shaded. The upper limit for graphics is about 1000 atoms per molecule.
