Can't help but take advantage of this opportunity to mention my BlendMol plugin. :) It works with the open-source 3D modeling program Blender. Here are some links that might help:
https://durrantlab.pitt.edu/blendmol/ https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/advance-article/doi/10.1093/bioinformatics/bty968/5210870 BlendMol works with VMD or PyMol to import molecular meshes into Blender, where they can be rendered with ray-tracing engines like Cycles. Let me know if you have any questions. All the best. On Mon, Jun 24, 2019, 5:27 PM Malte Frank Gerdes <malte.f.ger...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to generate 3D Molecules via POVRay.
