ChemViz3D
ChemViz3D is a free browser-based 3D molecular animation tool for chemistry teaching. Students can rotate, pause, and zoom around atoms and bonds in real-time scenes, while a keyframe editor creates custom reaction animations. Animations can be shared by link and viewed without installing software. ChemViz3D converts.chemx or.json animation files into Blender-ready Python scripts. Its molecule toolkit, built with RDKit.js, supports structure analysis, visualization, and SVG or MOL downloads. An image-to-SMILES workflow accepts uploads, pasted screenshots, and image URLs, with.smi and.mol export. The product describes using PubChem PUG-REST and NCI/CADD services for molecular data and structure resolution. It is used in UTS chemistry courses. Individual students, learners, and educators receive the free plan at free with no sign-up required. The full interactive player requires WebGL and a modern desktop browser is recommended.
