TwirlyMol was the world's first Javascript molecular viewer with shadows. It has been described as "and of course the shadows are cool" by Felix of Chemical Quantum Images.Although TwirlyMol was only released into the wild to fend for itself in January, it has swiftly outpaced Chime and is rapidly approaching Jmol-like levels of deployment.
Well, almost. At least one
TwirlyMol is freely available under a do-what-you-want-with-it license. You can even (*sob*) remove the shadows.

Sorry to remove your shadows!
Alas - although I did enjoy the shadows for interpretation, pedagogically, we were worried about the misconceptions of the interaction of light and atoms. After all... them photons don't exactly cast shadows!
The new url is here. It received high praise at the 21st BCCE!

Thanks for the update Justin. Glad to hear it's working well for you, even sans shadows!
