Description

An animated molecular model of table salt dissolving: water molecules surround a crystal lattice of green chloride and yellow sodium ions and pull them apart one by one, breaking the ionic bonds.

Technical details: about 31,000 polygons and 20,000 vertices with one material and a dissolving animation, UV-mapped and game-ready, scaled to 50 cm for easy viewing (real scale is nanometres).

Available as GLB, FBX, OBJ and Blender (.blend). Use the GLB for web viewers and three.js, the FBX for Unity, Unreal or Cinema 4D (it keeps the rig and animation), the OBJ as a static mesh, and the .blend to edit it directly in Blender. AiZity cleaned up the original (centred, grounded and renamed the parts), resized it to AiZity's catalogue scale and converted it to these formats.

Good for chemistry lessons, molecular biology, exam revision visuals and science e-learning.
