If you get a kick out of 3D renderings of cells and molecules, you're gonna have a field day with the work done at https://random42.com/. PSA: I started working there as a 3D artist but now lead the interactive department. You'd be surprised at how much a good art direction really makes a difference in scientific visualization. Real-time graphics advanced considerably in the last couple years but it's always a challenge to transport that nice, smooth pre-rendered look over to mobile devices and the web at 60 frames per second (90 on virtual reality headsets, to boot...)

Wow - these are stunning! I am curious if you have any "realistic time" animations, e.g., where blood circulates with the speed close to the one in the human body.
