This web resource presents an organized directory of cell and molecular animations, as well as a collection of original tutorials for life science professionals learning 3D visualization. The goal is to provide an efficient way for scientists and educators to browse and access existing animations for teaching and communication purposes. We hope to build an open community among 3D users focusing their efforts on cell and molecular visualizations.

We look forward to your contributions & feedback - thank you.
