bezier curve for protein ruban

Thats dones! I am quite happy to finally get a nice protein worm representation directly in blender. But there is still the coloring method problem...I have to associate vertex with material according physical property...And try to display arrow and helix for secondary structure type...
(thanks to the blender tutorial here :http://jmsoler.free.fr/didacticiel/blender/tutor/cpl_celticknot.htm and the API help)

logo DSIMB

Continuation of the logo's work. This time i have tried the svg import option of blender. Namely, you can export spline made in inkscape or gimp to blender in order to extrude them.
Here is an exemple, the text comes from Aurelie Bornot and are then convert to path in inkscape and save as svg file. Loaded in blender to extrude and modify (blend) to follow the sphere shape.
There is still work to do, get plain text, modify the D color, modify the M form, and change the background to transparent...

DSIMB logo

I have play around the DSIMB motif, which is the new name for my actual laboratory (EBGM).
DSIMB is for "Dynamique et Structure des interactions des macromolécules biologiques".
The first one were using my ABCgen web server, which have produce the pdb file for the text "DSIMB", and then using VMD exported to gelato. Layer were add in the gimp.
The second serie comes from Blender.
The last one correspond to an idea from Aurélie Bornot which is a phd in the lab.
