Blender

Introduction

An attempt at using Blender, an open-source, free, 3D modeling software to render, pose and animate objects exported from Pymol.

Blender may be downloaded freely for all major platforms (Win/Mac/Linux), from: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/

Examples

Representative examples. Please change/improve.

1. Translucent Surfaces

High quality translucent surfaces, better than PyMOL's internal renderer/ray-tracer.

• Step 1

Load the PDB file 3IQS into PyMOL, duplicate it twice and rename the two new objects to "3IQS_cartoon" and "3IQS_surface" as shown in the image below:
