Images and animations of DNA nanostructures with VMD

Required tutorial files:
In this tutorial, you will learn to use VMD to generate visual representations of DNA nanostructures, including DNA origami and wireframe structures. You will start with making static images, using standard and origami-specific representation styles. Then you will proceed to make a fancier image, with multiple selections, drawing methods, materials and colors. Following that, you will learn to animations of different viewpoints of a static structure, a simulation trajectory and, finally, a more complex movie with several transitions. A working version of VMD is required to do this tutorial.
