Molecular Nodes

Molecular Nodes is easily the most well developed add-on for anyone working with biomacromolecules. It is functionally a professional-grade research tool embedded in Blender.

As an add-on it is very well documented, and is supported by both Brady and its own community making it accessible to newcomers to Blender or scientific visualization.

This extension is not only a fantastic and intuitive way to load molecules and trajectories into Blender, but it also remains fully compatible with geometry nodes. It is therefore the solution to create molecular scenes. Brady Johnston is willing and active in answering questions about the use of molecular nodes. All in all, a fantastic extension.

The Molecular Nodes add on is a fantastic tool for structural biologists or any biology and chemistry interested Blenderers. It has made the life of science communicators much easier. Highly recommended!

Excellent add-on! I can quickly load bio-/chemical structures (proteins, molecules, etc), select fragments, set different representations, colors, styles etc. As a scientific illustrator/animator, this is an essential tool!

Hands down the most comprehensive way to present real data for biochemistry.

Tutorials are solid and the sky is basically the limit. CellPack is directly integrated inside. Grab a mesoscope recipe and model a whole virus.

Duct tape a few 4090s together and you can practically model a full bacterium at the atomic scale.

Updates come quick and always seem to be astonishing game changers. Blender and Molecular Nodes should be the standard for communicating biochemistry.
