Nicholas C. DeMello Member of the IRTC Mailing List Information below valid at 4 November 2025 Back to Main Page Nick DeMello here. I started getting into ray tracing as a technique for illustrating chemical reactions. Seems like a lot of chemists are fan's of POV, and I'm not an exception (although I'm also running LightWave). I'm interested in learning more about creating the detailed and intricate art that I've seen in the IRTC, so I figured I'd monitor this list. I'm 30-something, located in California, USA. These days I'm not doing any chemistry, instead I'm the editor of MacTech Magazine, the journal of Macintosh programming and development http://www.mactech.com I'm also managing Developer Depot, http://www.devdepot.com a mail order company selling Macintosh Application Development, Web Development, and System Administration products. I suppose it's no surprise that I'm rendering on a Mac :-) I did get a "water" theme image ready, just didn't get it submitted in time for this round. If folks are curious you can check it out at: http://www.chemgallery.com/ Anyway, I'll go back to lurking now, and thinking about "first encounters"... Nicholas C.
