Andres,
Along with VMD, you could try with VegaZZ
(http://nova.colombo58.unimi.it/cms/index.php?Software_projects:VEGA_ZZ:Download),
free software. There you will find user-friendly peptide builder. Also,
program is very suitable for setting-up NAMD calculations, as well as
for trajectory analysis. Other way is to sketch peptide in 2D and
convert it to 3D by, for example, CORINA (on-line free), see
http://www.molecular-networks.com/online_demos/corina_demo , also
openeye (http://www.eyesopen.com/omega) offer great program for SMILES
to 3D conversion OMEGA (free for academia)
