Hybrid Medical Animation creates fascinating 3D animations of biological phenomena, including one of SARS. [Via J-Walk Blog.]

Exceedingly interesting. I wish they had sound.

Hmm. Fantastic animation, but they're hardly aiming for realism. I imagine next they'll be adding a deep-voiced narrator.

Acetylcholinesterase.
Unhinged. Unpronounceable. Unstoppable.
Until a lone molecule appeared, with a shady past.
And nothing to lose.

XAMADON
Coming this fall from GlaxoSmithKline.
Rated PG-13 for side effects.

While these illustrations and animations are technically amazing, some of these really don't TELL me anything...granted, they are conceptual illustrations, and I am sure *I* am not the designated audience for them...something just kind of dissappoints me about this type of illustration (for instance, the "Sepsis Cascade" illustration), they seem to have an overly "fantastic" almost Borris Vallejo quality to them...
