Loading takes a very long time

[Sam Lapere]

Hi,

first thanks for developing this tool, it’s great to be able to import VMD simulations into Blender.

I have a 700 frame animation of a molecule simulated with Gromacs (*.xtc trajectory files). I converted the trajectory to pdb with VMD and am loading it with Pyrite. However the loading takes ages. I exported a pdb of a subset of only 5 frames to see if it actually can be loaded (obj mesh is ~100 MB, pdb file is about 20 MB), but even that seems to keep loading without stopping.

Do you have any suggestions on what might be the issue?

Hi Sam. Much thanks for your interest in Pyrite. It does seem odd that it would take so long to load a five-frame trajectory. Have you removed the water molecules, I wonder? That could slow things down. If not, I’d be happy to test your trajectory on my setup to debug. I’ll send you a private message with my email address. Take care.
