As a brief exercise with Autodesk 3DS Max, I decided to do personal research for the development of this 3D model of the new coronavirus 2019-nCoV. It is worth to note that this is the first 3d model that currently exists about this virus and its complete structure description. All electron microscope images are black and white, the approximation to the original colors are related to the type of molecular structure, so all images representing viruses or bacteria that have color "will always be artistic interpretations" .
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds that include diarrhea in cows and pigs, and upper respiratory disease in chickens. In humans, the virus causes respiratory infections, which are often mild, but are potentially lethal. There are no vaccines or antiviral drugs that are approved for prevention or treatment.
