Improve performance of molecular editor with many atoms (meshes)

[Sangwon_Lee]

I think it works for me because I’m not use textures (or different RenderState) for the molecular structure.
I tested your code at

Performance impact on thousands of Nodes

What exactly are those block models that you are loading? Are they simple cubes, or something much more complex (e.g. more detailed geometry, with chamfered or rounded corners, etc.)? If they’re just simple cubes, there’s no need to model them in an external application (e.g. Blender) and then load them into Panda. Instead, you can easily create them procedurally in Panda at runtime. Below is a code sample that allows you to create, add and remove cubes (with different UV coordinates for each s…

(but with tens of thousands of cubes) and I could see it working well.
I think based on this code, I need to develop a class that can handle shapes such as spheres and capsules easily (for the component of molecules).

Thank you for the advanced recommendation!
