OVERVIEW
Researchers from the Olson Molecular Graphics Laboratory at the Scripps Research Institute and from the Johnson Lab at UCSF have made freely available a number of cutting edge scientific visualization tools such as the embedded Python Molecular Viewer (ePMV) and most recently autoPack.
Project Sci-Viz provides a Python engine and API for 3ds Max that enable Max users to run ePMV and autoPack from within 3ds Max 2013. The Sci-Viz plug-in is available only for 3ds Max 2013 64-bit and requires a 64-bit version of Python 2.6.6.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
We share projects on Autodesk Labs when we need feedback to help us take them to the next level. Project Sci-Viz allows us to explore expanding the support in 3ds Max for applications targeted at scientific users. After you install Project Sci-Viz and use it with ePMV and autoPack, we hope that you will share your experiences with us using the feedback links on the right side of this page.
