Relaxation of six-membered rings in the leucite structure, as animated in CrystalMaker

Frames from a CrystalMaker animation, showing the temperature-driven relaxation of six-membered aluminosilicate rings in the crystal structure of leucite. Data from Palmer et al. (1997) American Mineralogist 82:16-29. [ Play Animation ]

Multi-Structure Animation. CrystalMaker is the first program of its kind to go beyond static structures, to let you explore structural behaviour quickly and easily.

Just drag-and-drop one multi-structure file (e.g., CIF or PDB), for an instant animation in the Graphics window. Alternatively, drag-and-drop multiple files into the same window, then rearrange their thumbnails to build your movie timeline.

View thumbnails can be browsed and animated on screen, with the option of a full-screen slideshow. Manipulate and synchronize views, drag-and-drop thumbnails to rearrange them, then output the entire sequence as a QuickTime movie with the new Save as Movie command.

Recording an animation, as a movie, in CrystalMaker

Saving a CrystalMaker animation to a movie file. Note the View thumbnails, corresponding to each frame of the movie/animation.

Digital Video.
CrystalMaker lets you generate digital video and QTVR objects.
Both Mac and Windows versions let you record QuickTime movies as you work, with full control over frame rates and compression settings.

QuickTime VR. CrystalMaker was the first application of its kind - ever - to support QuickTime Virtual Reality, and remains the only crystal structures application to provide automatic QTVR generation.

With this technology, you can save a self-contained, fully-rotatable model of your crystal or molecule. The resulting model can be viewed in any QuickTime-savvy application or web browser, on Mac or Windows. Users can rotate the model just by clicking and dragging the mouse - no complicated plug-ins to download or interfaces to load! Ideal for multimedia, presentations and student browsing.
