The UCSF Computer Graphics Lab distributes the program 'ribbonjr', which can output already-rendered SGI-format ribbon pictures SGI Open Inventor format ribbons for interactive viewing povray-format files of the ribbons rayshade-format files of the ribbons along with their MidasPlus visualization program. MidasPlus also comes with programs to render cpk, neon tubes, etc. For more info, see http://cgl.ucsf.edu/cgl/ or email midasplus@cgl.ucsf.edu I have no affiliation with cgl other than getting mail through their machine, being two floors above them, harassing their programmers, eating their babaganoush when they throw a reception, and happily using their programs. john troyer@cgl.ucsf.edu http://www.cmpharm.ucsf.edu/~troyer/ Dept.
