I am keen on this idea and will try to implement it. There are, however, some objections that might get in the way of the implementation:

But atoms are individual, and each one of them can be made display at different sizes and colors. The Jmol exporter is reading each atom and rendering it in VRML the same way it is rendered in Jmol. Standard CPK size and color cannot be assumed to be the case for all atoms. > There is further capacity for optimisation by discretising cylinder > joint lengths. > If opaqueness is a condition, cylinders could be made in only a few > sizes Which sizes?

How would the molecule look like? I think that currently it will display correctly as sticks (must test this). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
