CrystalMaker is an award-winning Mac program for building, displaying and manipulating all kinds of crystal and molecular structures.
CrystalMaker makes it easy to load structural data and generate photo-realistic images, with the option of "out-of-the-screen" 3D images. Models can be displayed immediately in ball-and-stick, thermal ellipsoid, space-filling, wire-frame, stick and polyhedral model types. All aspects of the model can be extensively customized, with a wide range of photo-realistic or stylized "line-art" representations. See our online gallery for 3D movies,

What's New
Version 8.6.1:
- VASP 5 Support. This version of CrystalMaker can now read from POSCAR/CONTCAR files in VASP 5 format. Such files optionally include element symbols for the listed atoms, and these will be used by CrystalMaker to assign atom types - instead of having to rely on accompanying INCAR/POTCAR files.
- When loading a WIEN2k file, CrystalMaker now correctly converts distance units from Bohr to Angstrom units.
- WIEN2k Rhombohedral lattice correction. WIEN2k files treat rhombohedral lattices in an unusual manner, specifying hexagonal cell parameters, but giving fractional atomic coordinates relative to a rhombohedral cell. CrystalMaker now converts the unit cell parameters to rhombohedral ones, in order to display the structure correctly.
- Enhanced precision for lattice transformation output. When transforming the unit cell, via the Transform > Transform Cell command, transformation (and inverse transformation) matrices are printed in the Log pane of the Overview window. These now use higher precision formatting.

One MINOR complaint: when an incompatible file is used for input (e.g., a cif file on which a publisher has put in extraneous material on the front tend), the program hangs and a "force-quit" is necessary.
