Status: Stable Release

Summary

Welcome to CarbonCraft v1.0.0! This is the first stable release following the v0.9.0-beta.1 preview. CarbonCraft is an interactive 3D molecular builder for hydrocarbon derivatives, combining Ursina, Panda3D rendering, and RDKit chemistry tools to let you build and inspect molecules in a live 3D environment.

Highlights

  • Interactive 3D Builder: Drag-and-drop elements to build molecules dynamically.
  • RDKit Integration: Live SMILES generation, valency checking, and structure sanitization.
  • PubChem Lookup: Automatic fetching of IUPAC names via the PubChem API.
  • Improved Visuals: Lit shaders, Z-aligned cylinder bonds, and high-poly sphere atoms using Panda3D.
  • Windows Executable Support: Easy packaging via included PyInstaller scripts.

Installation / Usage

Windows Executable Build

You will find the pre-built executable zipped in the release assets below.

If you prefer to build it yourself from source, ensure you have the virtual environment activated, then run:

PowerShell

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force
.\scripts\build_pyinstaller.ps1

Command Prompt

scripts\build_pyinstaller.bat

The compiled application will be generated in the dist\CarbonCraft directory.

Dependencies / Environment

See requirements.txt for exact pins.

  • Python 3.10+
  • numpy, Panda3D, panda3d-gltf, panda3d-simplepbr, ursina
  • rdkit, PubChemPy

Known Issues

  • Highly strained or cyclical structures may occasionally fail RDKit's 3D embedding routine.
  • Requires an active internet connection for IUPAC name retrieval. Without it, the UI will display "Offline/Unknown".
