Jmol developers, I just checked in code which implements rendering of vanderwaals dot surfaces.
After Christoph's *inspiring* report I must admit that I am somewhat less enthusiastic about implementing the solvent accessible surface :( But the screen rendering of vdw dot surfaces *does* look pretty good. We'll see.;^) Miguel > Q1: Difficult to say. Does the fact that every decent 3D display program > has this stuff mean that it is important. Probably not.
