The new version of BioBlender (BioBlenderv0.5.2) does not need a template.blend file to start. BB interface is available when Blender is launched from the BioBlenderv0.5.2\Bin folder. A new representation for hydropathy is available: MLP values are mapped on the atoms and are visualized as levels of grey (Atomic MLP button in BioBlender View panel). VBO was also disabled as crashes on startup were reported.
