Abstract

The increasing size of protein data available in internet databases demands new fast methods of visualization. This paper introduces a novel visualization technique for molecular ribbon structures. The method is based on Combined BReps - a mesh structure defining a combination of polygonal faces and Catmull/Clark surfaces. Our technique provides high frame rates when interactively moving through structures of highest complexity as well as high quality images when the viewpoint remains static.
