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

Nikolaus Gradwohl2012-05-02T06:12:36+00:00

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

Nikolaus Gradwohl2012-05-01T08:17:35+00:00

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

Nikolaus Gradwohl2012-04-30T06:03:16+00:00

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!

blender curve experiments - connected cubes

Nikolaus Gradwohl2012-04-26T06:25:15+00:00

For this part of my blender curve experiments I made 2 cubes that are connected by a bezier curve

I added a empty as a hook to the first and last vertex of the curve and then parented a cube to each of these. Now I can move or rotate the cubes and the curve follows.

This could come handy for a lot of things ranging from steampunk machines to 3D busines graphics

blender curve experiments - flower and bee

Nikolaus Gradwohl2012-04-25T05:43:07+00:00

For this part of my blender curve experiments I modeled a flower and a vase using bezier curves.

I also added a little bee that follows a bezier-track

cycles crystal material

A cycles crystal material test render

To achive the color dispersion effect 3 Glass Shaders with slightly different IOR values are used. Each of them has a different color. To make the material a little more bright I added a 4th Glass Shader using white as base color.

The material is based on the diamond-Shader by ~theRealRichard
