Programs like Viewmol (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+package/viewmol) and Ballview (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+package/ballview) display molecules by using chemical file formats like XYZ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xyz_file). Would it be easy to give Blender the ability to read a chemical file (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_file_format) generate a model that can be used in Blender. This feature would help animators and graphics designers to generate graphics faster because many molecular model files can be downloaded freely. Then, this would save designers time becasue the molecule would be drawn for the graphics designer. Ballview, Viewmol, and numerous other molecular model viewers are open source, so the Blender developers should have an easier time implementing this idea rather than writting the code from scratch. Thank you, and I hope my idea benefits Blender and its users. I am willing to be a beta tester for this feature. I am currently learning how to use Blender. I am very familiar with molecular model files (I own hundreds or more). I know how to use OpenBabel, which is an open- source program that converts one molecule model format to another. OpenBabel would enable us to test many formats.
