Great to see so many structural biologists and crystallographers on HN!

PyMOL has been progressing leaps and bounds over the last few years under Jason Vertrees guidance at Schrodinger LLC. So do give it a look if you are excited about this stuff. The development model is also quite nice, in that the most avant-garde features are released in the 'incentive' version (costs money) but then are released into the open source version after the next version update, sometimes even earlier.

It has been a personal interest of mine to use Blender and PyMOL together for visualization and graphics[0].

Good luck to BioBlender and thanks for sharing on HN!
