You can actually do shapes in Pymol too. You just have to build the CGO. For example, here is the link for making cylinders in Pymol. http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/CGOCylinder

This might be simpler than learning a whole new software.

Cheers,

Katherine

Blender has a bit of a steep learning curve, but it is pretty cool and there is a robust user community and plenty of online tutorials. There may even be plugins to load PDB files. I seem to remember such a thing existed years ago.

Dear Crystallographers,

This is semi-off-topic, but does anyone know of good software, preferably free, for doing 3D renderings of blocks, cylinders, cubes, whatever, allowing one to rotate the objects, do lighting, etc? Like Pymol, but with geometrical shapes instead of protein structures?

All the best,

Jacob
