We recently added an animate feature the Jmol Virtual Model Kit - chemagic.com/vmk/. Basically, the feature simply facilitates the capturing of molfile frames while editing a model in the VMK window. The resulting multiframe molfile text can be pasted into the VMK Molecular Editor script field and executed by clicking the run script link. Obviously, it can also be loaded into any Jmol applet and run by the standard menu commands.
Tom Newton has put together a 185 frame example animation of the bromine addition to (Z)-but-2-ene. This is a nice example of molecular kinetics that you can express (literally act out) using Jmol's editing and frame capturing capability. The VMK, of course, is simply facilitating these native capabilities. The text file for this animation can be downloaded at: http://chemagic.com/bromination.txt Tom plans to put together a Web page menu of these animations. We welcome and will credit any animation contributions. Be forewarned. Tom is ahead of me on this. I still have considerable interface work to do, but what exists now is usable.
