Molecules

Interested in having molecules in Cheetah3D, that's very simple.

1) Mercury, a free software from the CCDC (https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/solutions/csd-system/components/mercury/), allows you to transform a molecule (all typical formats such as .pdb .xyz .cif ....) into a .stl file.
Simply use File == Print in 3D. The result is quite good but you have to spend some time to color the resulting polygon.

2) VMD (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/Download/download.cgi?PackageName=VMD) does also the job and it is possible to save the molecule as a .obj file. In this case, the colors are there but the quality is not as good and the files are very big.
