CryoEM density inside of #b3d and #MolecularNodes! Thanks to code from Alister Burt and Michael Douglass. Will be coming when Blender 3.5 is released later in March. Potential now also for crystallography electron density as well

@AlisterBurt This is very cool Brady. I am implementing the exporting maps and models from coot!! We want users to be able to costumize their maps in Blender 🤩 I remember I told @AlisterBurt some times ago about my idea.

@AlisterBurt We should chat about crystallography maps from coot! I have been wondering about how to import them!! Blender has great volumes support, just a matter of converting to the right format

@AlisterBurt By chance will you be able to color EM density by proximity using the color of the underlying atomic model?

@AlisterBurt Certainly can! I haven’t added any of that yet, but it’s possible and on the list of things to add

@AlisterBurt This might convince me to make the jump from ChimeraX to Blender for making figures of structures.

@AlisterBurt That looks so cool!!!

@AlisterBurt You could then also instance these volumes...

@AlisterBurt COOL!

@AlisterBurt Amazing stuff! 👏👏

@AlisterBurt Ok ok! I will give it a try soon ;)

@AlisterBurt Yess!!!
