For this part of my blender curve experiments I animated a fuze using dynamic paint and a particle system

I made a video tutorial showing how to animate a material in cycles. The tutorial is presented by my one-tooth-monster.

This is my first videotutorial for blender - so critics/suggestions/hints/.. are welcome.

for this part of my blender curve experiments I used a build modifier and an array modifier to make some spirals grow and join each other

in this part of my blender curve experiments I made the camera follow a curve

This is a testvideo where I used a remesh modifier and a smooth modifier and animated some of the parameter

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

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

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.

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.
