3D visualization software for scientific molecular dynamics model -


i writing program visualize molecular dynamics experiment. input file location of each atom @ each timestep. there ~100k atoms , ~500 timesteps. atoms represented spheres. connections between atoms represented cylinders.

here requirements program (in order of importance):

  1. ability move, rotate, , zoom change image
  2. ability make movie positions @ various timesteps
  3. ability select atom mouse
  4. ability create gui
  5. ease of installation on mac, windows , linux.

can recommend language, visualization library or method approach this? other thoughts appreciated.

i suggest consider paraview; need save relevant data in vtk format (the library has functions that) , you're done. has excellent post-processing capabilities (such coloring, transparent particles, animations) , well-tested.

if not seem enough flexible you, have experience c++ lib qglviewer (don't confused .com, free , cross-platform). need write opengl code particles yourself, pretty easy.

that said, know there several "scene graph engines", can perhaps, think other better comment on that, never used them.

fyi this movie done paraview (you find many more examples, sure), while stuff here opengl qglviewer.
