Rapidly create advanced molecular animations with these thirty-two animation templates.

This collection features five categories of animation templates to help you rapidly create beautiful, advanced molecular animations and presentations:

  • Motion animations: to make molecules move (e.g. Dock, Assemble, Play trajectory, etc.)
  • Camera animations: to make the view change, either in a simple cinematic way (Dolly, Zoom, etc.) or on arbitrary paths (Look at atoms, Follow atoms, Move camera, etc.)
  • Entrance animations: to make things appear in the viewport, either suddenly or progressively
  • Exit animations: to make things disappear from the viewport, either suddenly or progressively
  • Other animations: animations that do not fit in the first four categories. For example, the Set background animation template lets you change the viewport background at any point in time, so you can display background slides and create complete presentations.

Find more information in the documentation center or in this complete video tutorial.
