I am trying to model the beads on a string DNA organization and I modeled one nucleosome successfully and I trying to duplicate it to make it like beads on string. I have been trying for days but with not luck. I tried duplicating it, applied array modifier and created a particles system but none of this worked.
Here is an image of the nucleosome I made with simple shaders to differentiate between the different histones.
I am applying a curve modifier to the DNA to bend it around the histones and make it look organic.
but I 'v seen a few threads on Bio
I can find other threads for BIO
may be one can have some tips or other links
but using curves should work for the DNA part
and for the blue parts you could use Verts duplicate with a simple mesh
but this has to be done manually.
No guarantees here because I don’t have your .blend file but couldn’t you add an additional string of vertices and use a Hair Particle System to spawn the proteins?
