Show HN: A library for custom scientifically accurate 3D models of SARS CoV2

I created this R package because I kept on seeing awful 3D models of the virus out there (worst offender: a ball with what looked like toilet plungers sticking out of it). When I tried to find a good model, I realized people had just been taking the first free resource they found. So I created a package to easily output OBJ files with custom vertex colors, using a model that was approved by the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

Being an OBJ file, you can render it in whatever software you want, but I also included example code in the docs/README to show how you can render it with rayrender, a pathtracer in R. Only takes two lines of code to set up a scene and render it.
