Scripting projects for 3ds max.

SL Prims Version 28

Checkout the new release.

It’s posted in the forum here.

Two fixes:

  • Fix size of sphere and check size of rest of the shapes between max and SL. All seem ok.
  • Enhance exporter for better error handling and saving multiple files to control maximum size of the output file. The file size is limited to about 64 primitives so that the 64K notecard limit is not exceeded. Files are labeled _1, _2 etc.

The VMD program displays molecules and supports a large number of rendering options.

However, while these programs incorporate a knowledge of chemistry, neither of these programs provides fine control over rendering and animation. The Import Molecule max script imports the molecule files and creates max geometry that can be rendered and animated at will.
