spooky wood
The trees of this spooky wood where generated while playing with the new knife tool.
The scene has no active light source. I only used ambient occlusion to make the trees visible

blender curve experiments - extrude
for this part of my blender curve experiments I played with the extrude parameter and a deform modifier

one-tooth-monster
I modeled a one-tooth-monster using blender 2.63. I used the new knife-tool for the first time and I love it.
I haven't rigged it yet, maybe I will use it for some animations later

animated cycles material - part 3
This is another animated cycles material. I used a voronoi-texture that uses the generated texture-coordinates as its input.
To animate the cells I add a rgb value to the vector of the texture-coordinate output.
This works since the rgb values are vector values themselve and by animating the color you can shift the texture coordinates around.

blender curve experiment - curly hair with cycles
First of all - no, cycles still has no hair or particle renderer - BUT To render short hair that doesn't need hair-dynamics you can use object groups to render the hair.
I made some spirales and deformed them using the proportional editing tool with random influence, grouped them together and used them as dubliobjects in a hair particle system on the head figure
The need to have a bevel value and bevel has to be set to full for this to work.
Still not perfect, because of the lack of hair-dynamics, but very nice for some cartoony characters or still images.

blender curve experiments - chain of cubes
For this part of my blender curve experiments I made a chain of cubes using an array and a curve modifier

flying through the menger-sponge
This is a flight throught a level 4 Menger Sponge. I generated the fractal using a pyhton script.
The blend file is very big so I don't link it here directly. You can regenerate it very easy by opening a text-editor in blender and running the python script below the image.
blender curve experiements - glass helix
For this part of my blender curve experiments I played a bit with a curve modifier and a bezier-curve forming a helix.

blender curve experiments - treble clef
for this part of my blender curve experiments I made a treble clef
the sounds are generated using pure data. This was the first time I used the new 0.43.1-beta of pd - which is awesome!
