MCell and Paraview

This is a short movie showing the free diffusion of a molecule in a box. Simulation was carried out using MCell3. The output data, in DREAMM_V3_GROUPED format, was converted to VTP format for ParaView visualization using Dr. Slombey's dx2file utility. Animation was saved as a series of tif files, which were converted to ppm image using one of the scripts above. ppmtompeg generated mpeg movie using the above input file with minor modification. However the frame rate is so high that the whole movie lasted only about 3-4 sec. I don't have access to QuickTime Pro, so ImageJ was used to make a movie (avi format) at 4 fps.
