Due to massive amount of spamming, we've changed registration, until further notice. '''If you would like access''', you will need to be verified by a system administrator/sysop. To do so, email Jason dot Vertrees at gmail dot com (and tell me why you use PyMol)Once we figure out a way to prevent the spamming, we'll return to the normal method of registration.

DESCRIPTION

This script will create an object for any Wavefront(.OBJ) mesh file. This is a way to extend the number of objects you can use. Also, you have more control over the coloring, transformations, etc than the CGOs. Although there are a number of these obj files on the web, you can also easily created them with open source tools (OpenFX, Crossroads3D). It takes literally, 2 min to get an object created and then loaded into pymol. Simply open OpenFX Designer, click File->Insert->Model, then choose any of the models (or create your own of course!), then export it as .3ds file. Then open the .3ds file from Crossroads3D and export as Wavefront OBJ.

  • createWFMesh - create a mesh object from Wavefront (*.obj) formated file
