Jmol export to 3D scene formats

These formats are usually called 3D scene or 3D world; they may be used for interactive 3D display (locally or on the web, or embedded in pdf documents), in virtual reality (VR) applications, or for processing by 3D printers.

These are some sample files generated with Jmol. In most cases, they will not be displayed inside this page.
If you have a player or viewer installed for these formats, you will be able to download and view them.
If your web browser is configured to handle these file types, they will be displayed in the browser or in an external helper application.
