Does anyone know of a free 3d model builder?
« on: September 05, 2013, 06:43:51 PM »
Does anyone know of a free, 3d model builder online. I googled it and there seemed to be a few out there, but I am just looking for some suggestions. I don't  need anything special as it will probably melt my computer >.<. Just looking for something that can give me a "quick and dirty" rendering of small molecules.

PS - Not sure if this was the correct forum for this, but since I will be modeling organic molecules it seemed like the best option. Sorry if misplaced.

Chemsketch from ACD is a very good package that produces 3D molecules.

I have used this program for making schemes before, never noticed it did 3d rendering? Do you happen to know if the rendering is a quick MM calculation or how it determines 3d structures?
