We recently published our paper about GENESIS 2.1 1. As one of the co-first authors, I contributed the sections on Coarse-Grained (CG) simulations and a series of schematic illustrations.
To increase the paper’s visibility, we decided to create a cover image for the journal’s website.
To this end, I dusted off my long-dormant Blender skills and combined them with some modest image-editing techniques to produce three different designs.
The version selected by the co-authors is shown below: https://pubs.acs.org/cms/10.1021/jpcbfk.2024.128.issue-25/asset/jpcbfk.2024.128.issue-25.xlargecover-2.jpg
Of course, that left two rejected designs, which I’ve decided to archive here on my personal site for your amusement.
