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.

What's New
Version 8.5.2:
  • Thermal Ellipsoid Information. Clicking on an atom with the Info tool's "Info" button prints information about both the site, and - if present - its atomic displacement (thermal) ellipsoid. New data include the actual displacement tensor, plus the lengths and orientations for each of the three principal axes, given in lattice vector form.
  • Improved Window Menu. The Window menu has a new layout, with additional functionality:
  • Streamlined Layout. The menu has been streamlined, by moving all of the Toolbar- and Sidebar-related commands into submenus. For example, the Show Toolbar command would now be accessed from the Toolbar > Show Toolbar submenu, and the Show Sidebar command from the Sidebar > Show Sidebar submenu.
  • Full Screen Control. This menu also includes a new command for switching into, or out of Full Screen mode. This complements the existing Tools palette and window toolbar buttons.
  • Play Command. Animation of window Views or File favourites is now possible in full-screen mode with palettes hidden, thanks to a new Window > Play menu command. The command changes between Play Views and Play Files, depending on the activate pane of the Overview window (which does not have to be visible, however). Holding down the option key changes the command to Play ... Again, which executes without displaying a dialog, using the last-selected (or default) animation settings.
  • Miscellaneous Changes. This version also includes miscellaneous improvements in functionality, windowing behaviour, and minor bug fixes:
  • The unit cell volume and number of atoms in the unit cell are now printed in the Log pane of the Overview window, using the Transform > Formula & Density command.
  • New windows use the toolbar settings of the previous front window, rather than reverting to default settings.
  • The Window > Zoom and Window > Minimize commands are now disabled when in Full Screen mode.
  • Improvements to the network checking have been incorporated in this version, designed to prevent spurious "licence violation error" messages when the program is re-launched following a crash.
  • Fixed a rare problem with missing atoms caused by a combination of tiny x-coordinates (e.g., 1.0 × 10-17) and the listing of symmetry generators in reverse order (identity operator last).
Version 8.5.2:
  • Thermal Ellipsoid Information. Clicking on an atom with the Info tool's "Info" button prints information about both the site, and - if present - its atomic displacement (thermal) ellipsoid. New data include the actual displacement tensor, plus the lengths and orientations for each of the three principal axes, given in lattice vector form.

The 5-star rating given to this software by MacWorld is entirely justified. It looks gorgeous, it is remarkably intuitive and produces some structure effects that I have always wanted. I can download cif files from journal web sites and or use those I have from our own research and have a stunning picture in a remarkable short time.
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.
[Version 6.2]
