Here's the final molecular media image using a combination of media and
isosurfaces.  I found getting the proper lighting (the previous ones were
far too dark) requires not combining absorption and scattering as well as
not using shadowless lights.

This is a depiction of the electrostatic potential in a molecular system
undergoing a spontaneous decomposition.  This image is at the intermediate
point of dissociation of the single molecule into two product molecules.
You can see the transfer of negative charge from one part of the molecule to
another part.  The part that is receiving the charge is the part that will
break off.  I'll post the animation of the entire reaction sequence in the
binaries.animation group for any interested parties.

Enjoy!

Jim

   This defiantly adds a new twist on the old ball and stick
 models so deeply entrenched in molecular modelling of both past
 and present. Keep it up and you can start a new career in visual
 molecular modelling. Maybe that has been your intention all along.

ok, I don't uunderstand anything, but it looks good. sorta.
Care to educate me ? (not now, I'll post the rest of my replies and install
Linux.. )

This I can understand.
