Here I have tried to make some animations of molecules using Lightwave3D that would have been more tricky to create using other programs. I have used my own programs motopov and dspovtols to create modeler LScripts that construct the lw objects, and then animated these in Lightwave.

A simple cartoon animation intended to illustrate the operation of a type of assay used to measure binding of a peptide molecule (green Y shape) to DNA (blue curl) immobilized on a surface (grey disc). The large green and yellow blob is a protein which recognises the peptide and converts colourless substrate (white cubes) into coloured product (blue rectangles) which is detected.
