View molecular files with this tool. ProteinShader is a molecular visualization tool that can produce illustrative renderings of proteins that approximate what an artist might create using pen and ink. This free platform-independent program is written in Java and OpenGL Shading Language.

The custom texture mapping and lighting calculations for rendering these images are implemented using vertex and fragment shaders written in the OpenGL Shading Language, which is supported on most new graphics cards for ordinary desktop and laptop computers.

Vertex and fragment shaders are also used for mapping text labels and decorative textures onto the curved surfaces of tubes and ribbons shown in color.
