Archive 2011: 3D modelling & Python Molecular Viewer
Most of the creation is done with Cinema4D. Cinema4D allows to add extra functions using Python. With the open-source plug-in, embedded Python Molecular Viewer (ePMV) animators can tap into scientific databases, such as the Protein Data Bank (http://www.pdb.org), to extract molecular structures, images, microscopy data and other key information.
Tools used:
Maxon Cinema4D R13
Joel O tron’s MicroFloaties Rig
Adobe After Effects

The animation is just a proof of concept, i’m an animator not a scientist, the visual representation is not verified. For accurate information on the IgG1 molecule structure i would recommend to search elsewhere.
