Hi Jared,
Only writing one sphere geometry per color makes a lot of sense, yes let's talk
about that offline! I also see some dispensable elements like with
identity matrix, which we could safely remove to reduce file size further.
Cheers,
Thomas

This is great, thanks! I created a dae file with some geometry instances
before I saw this email, but I think you guys are well beyond that point
already. And yes -- one sphere per color seems like the best that can be
done simply with Collada 1.4, and it would already be a huge improvement in
Hi Gary and Thomas -
As Thomas mentioned, the sphere/cylinder/etc. primitives described in the
COLLADA 1.5 spec as ("boundary representation") elements would be the
best option for spheres and basically all other PyMOL representations except
for molecular surfaces. Unfortunately COLLADA 1.5
Hi Gary,
Do you know an application which can actually read COLLADA files with sphere
primitives? We've faced the problem that most tools only handle COLLADA 1.4, so
if PyMOL would use COLLADA 1.5 features, the programs we know wouldn't read the
exported files. See
The collada file exported by pymol would be smaller and export/import
faster, I think, if it used geometry_instance for spheres rather than
giving each sphere its own geometry/mesh/accessors/etc.. Has that been
discussed before?
