-Write a short description of your project here!
+MDAnalysis has a basic interface with [Blender](https://www.blender.org/) through a popular extension called [Molecular Nodes](https://github.com/BradyAJohnston/MolecularNodes), which allows importing MDAnalysis universes and provides advanced rendering capabilities through a GUI. The ability to script and support advanced visualizations of MDAnalysis results is currently limited. This project attempts to define, prototype and implement various APIs along with an integrated GUI within Blender as part of [GGMolVis](https://github.com/yuxuanzhuang/ggmolvis) and [Molecular Nodes](https://github.com/BradyAJohnston/MolecularNodes) that will together provide advanced visualization capabilities for MDAnalysis.
