Export molecular structures, visual models and surfaces to OBJ - including their colors - to import them in 3D animation software, or even PowerPoint™.

To export to the OBJ format, select what you want to export and, in the Visualization menu, click on the Save OBJ command. Depending on the selection (atoms, surfaces, etc.), multiple saving options will be offered.

Two files will be created: an OBJ file which contains the geometry, and a MT file which contains the materials (colors).

You can then import the OBJ files in animation software such as Blender™, or in presentation software such as PowerPoint™ to view them in 3D and animate them (see for example this tutorial).

OBJ Exporter is an extension for SAMSON,
the integrative platform for molecular design.

To use OBJ Exporter:

1. Create your free account and choose a molecular design plan
2. Download and install SAMSON on your computer
3. Subscribe to a Professional or Enterprise plan


When you restart SAMSON, the extension will be automatically installed
and will be usable directly from within SAMSON.
