Thanks a lot, both of you!
I'm going to try it tomorrow at my lab, I hope I will be successful!
It is very nice of you to help me!!

Thank you Pilou.
After reading several tutorials for different programs this week-end, i'm totally depressed and lost!
I am not able to modelise anything on blender...
I tried to contact the guy who did this video (which is exactly what I would like to achieve + a carbon nanotube) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgqsX-utMcI

So hard!!

Hello Pilou and first of all, thank you very much for your help
I don't know if you have seen my attached file in my previous post?
Because I actually want to be able to create an animation where a molecule (that I can draw) will move toward the nanotube and graft on it. Then I will need to add basic blocks to the nanotube's ends to simulate electrodes (for a transistor).
Is it something that can be done?
Do you know any other program enabling it? Be cause I downloaded blender to do it but I am completely lost even with the tutorials....
Thank you so much

Hello,

I'm actually in my third year of PhD in experimental chemistry.
I studied the interactions between a precise type of molecule (see attachment) and carbon nanotubes.
Then I studied the interaction of those molecules and a transistor based nanotube (see attachment).
I would like to realize a 3D animation of this project.
I downloaded Blender and googlesketch 3D (I saw 3D animations with blender which were very impressive) but I'm totally lost, even when I'm reading the tutorials.

Bye

Gurvan
