UnityMol v0.9.6 README
$Id: README.markdown,v 1.7 2016/08/02 22:42:02 baaden Exp baaden $
UnityMol is a molecular viewer and prototyping platform for the Unity3D game engine developped by Marc Baaden's team in Paris (Lv et al., 2013). It includes HyperBalls designed to visualize molecular structures using GPU graphics card capabilities based on shaders (GLSL or Cg). I also includes all features of the Sweet UnityMol version with specific visualizations for sugar molecules as described in a scientific paper. It can read Protein Data Bank (PDB) files, Cytoscape networks, OpenDX maps and Wavefront OBJ meshes.
More information on http://unitymol.sourceforge.net and UnityMol's official twitter page. There you should also find details about this release.
Documentation is now directly updated at http://www.baaden.ibpc.fr/umol/Doc/manual/html/.
