If there were Oscar's awarded for Science Communication, I'd nominate Brady Johnston.

[@dialac1]

💯

[@BradyJohnston]

you are too kind! appreciate it :)

[@محمدعليمهدلي-ح6ق]

+1 his work is awesome

[@JackOneil68]

Thanks Brady for the gift you made to the structural biology community and to the general public to help scientific communication.

[@BradyJohnston]

thank you!!

[@CGFigures]

A big hello to Amsterdam from the Blender Scientific Community!

[@matteofalduto766]

Imagine showing this to a biochemist 50 years ago. They would go nuts

[@ruben_meerman]

This is a game changer for science communicators. Thank you Brady!

[@swampflux]

Glad to see this kind of thing happening with Blender again. I remember seeing protein simulation short film at Blender Conference 2009 and it was by far my favorite moment of the conference.

[@BradyJohnston]

lots more blender and science in the coming years I am sure of it!

[@hvanmegen]

This is the power of Open Source, people.. thanks to Blender and especially Ton Roosendaal for not selling out but staying true to the mission, this stuff is happening now!

[@RyzomaticOrgans]

Brady's a genius. He identified a problem in visually communicating scientific data and literally just wrote a program to integrate with Blender and PDB to solve it....all whilst doing a PhD in biochemistry. and running his TH-cam channel and lord knows what else.

[@geordiemartinez]

wow. this brings me back. I used to do this in Maya back in 2003 for a company called Stylus Visuals. It's much snazzier here and Blender seems like a cleaner way to do this. I had to write a mel script to assemble ball and stick models in Maya. I used the first PDB to create everything then subsequent frames to move the atoms. You made my day.

[@sageforce9306]

Me and my smooth brain reading this in awe

[@petneb]

I love viruses and bacteria and truly appreciate their contribution as the origin of life and having made it possible for us to even exist. Without them we would never have made it and neither would blender.

[@yonlaycabrera4431]

Oh men. This is the most exciting science presentation I have ever watched. Pretty awesome.

[@EinarBordewich]

Insane!!! Fantastic!!! This is on a total new level for Blender!

[@vstreet7583]

What an incredible presentation and use of Blender. Just BRILLIANT! THANK YOU! Dg

[@trevorsoh2130]

What a legend! This is such an informative and meaningful video - amazing to see blender being used like this!

[@BradyJohnston]

thanks mate! It's exciting for the field to be able to use blender like this as well :)

[@lloydy272]

Amazing stuff, Brady! Mind blowing work and excellent presentation!

[@nicolec4480]

your a superhero man i love your work and so grateful as myself being a biomedical visulization and communication illustrator you have opened so many doors for communicating at a whole new bio level

[@lakemonstergames32]

This is us, this is beautiful. Amazing job, well done, this is a huge contribution on the bridge of art and science!

[@BradyJohnston]

thanks mate! art and science blelong together

[@silicostudio]

That is really cool! Great work Brady! Congratulations!

[@BradyJohnston]

thanks mate!

[@toddlawrimore3577]

Again, Great work. Hope to be working with this soon. Have a few more general Blender tutorials to work through before I am ready. Thank you.

[@GauthierKERVYN]

I simply love your work. Congratulations!

[@davidmcsween]

Wow, what a great presentation Brady!

[@marcvandenbroeckDaKawa]

This is great stuff. Never thought Blender could do this

[@BradyJohnston]

Blender can do basically anything if you put your mind to it

[@the_bioway]

Awesome Presentation Brady!

[@johnenglishIII]

Mind blown by this. Incredible work.

[@DDeamos]

Awesome work mate and a great presentation.

[@BradyJohnston]

thanks so much mate!

[@kokoze]

ohh boy I sure do hope we get the ability to read custom attributes because storing them as xyz positions sure is an elaborate hack

[@BradyJohnston]

yes it turns out there was some python API that I just hadn't discovered (and wasn't documented super well) that I'm currently re-writing the addon using to get around that little hack haha, it's much cleaner this way

[@ReljaTrajkovic]

Amazing! I love this type of work in Blender!

[@KilroysKartography]

Fantastic talk!

[@nazramz5224]

this is amazing

[@vniskon]

Amazing job Brady

[@ttubiana]

Your presentation is awesome Beady 😁

[@BradyJohnston]

thanks mate!

[@sarahpiper6088]

Awesome job Brady :)

[@MattMajcan]

this is absolutely mind blowing

[@zelimirfedoran9720]

Incredible talk

[@BradyJohnston]

thanks mate!

[@21EC]

14:40 - Is this crazy simulation all done from scratch entirely using Geo nodes...?!

[@BradyJohnston]

the 'spike' is simulated elsewhere and the data brought in via geometry nodes, but otherwise the rest of it is entirely created through geometry nodes yes :)

[@gama3181]

This is very inspiring! Congrats Brady.

[@Igoreshkin]

Mindblown

[@entr0pic]

Yeah Brady!!

[@BradyJohnston]

🥳

[@JA3_J-A3]

Now i am interested in biology

[@todesdigga3891]

Meeeeega cool!

[@ihorkarpiuk4102]

wooooooooooooow

[@ShuripustaILK]

Outstnding! ( ╹▽╹ )

[@Akka3]

3D artists like what the quantum physic solar system burned in Houdini was that show :D .. amazing pipeline

[@BradyJohnston]

thanks mate! all built on the hard work of a lot of other people every step of the way, I'm just bringing it all together

[@Akka3]

@@BradyJohnston i feel it :)
