This is an animation I did for a two day seminar I'll deliver in a few
weeks. Does not intend to be artistic, rather focused on teaching value
and given that raytraced images certainly capture the attention of the
audience there is a teaching value right there. I thought that I did
not want to rely on the usual kind of still image with arrows indicating
how the atoms move.
The animation shows the first vibrational mode of carbonate anion
(classic example from Cotton's group theory book), at 718 wavenumbers.
The mirror planes are the sigma_h and sigma_v symmetry elements and the
point is to show how the vibration preserves the symmetry.
BTW, please let me know if you have any problems with this animation. I
play it with plaympeg and mplayer, but for some reason xine does not
like it. I plan to make the final render at 640x480.
Any comments?

Maybe rotate around the vertical axis a bit so you can tell that the
mirrors are reflecting the atom...

Do you mean to make the atom behind the mirror (at least partially) visible?

Yes.

you might want to use blobs instead of cylinders and spheres. This way it
will look more proffessional.
