I havent' tried to get Splotch to work since then. I don't have the full version of GADGET-2 yet, but I now have a collaborator who has access to the code once I'm ready to use it. At the moment I'm working on my own code for my PhD qualifying exam project. I have been busy with other things since I wrote that post. I havent’ tried to get Splotch to work since then.

I was trying versions 3.1 and 4.0, but neither work for me. Splash was very easy to setup, however it lacks functionality a little bit. Also, what about Gadget-2 "non-public" version, that you've been writing about the other day? Do you have it now running? How can I get it? Is it available only for researchers and academics or a single user could get it too? I'm looking forward to your response. Regards. Have you managed to run Splotch eventually?

OK, the good thing about this is, that it makes really very nice images, but it is also difficult to handle...and has no documentation! In fact, I had given a snapshot to Klaus Dolag and he in turn gave me an appropriate parameter file back - otherwise, maybe I wouldn't have been able to figure out how splotch works :) So, I'd recommend using SPLASH (at least for the beginning...you can come back to SPLOTCH later, and eventually compare the images obtained with each software, which is a good thing to do anyway) since it is very well documented, and can be used interactivly (e.g. zoom into you image by mouse clicks). As far as I know, it can also render dark matter particles (but I'm not sure, since my simulations are gas dynamical only and so I don't use the other particle types in GADGET).
