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!

blender curve experiments
for this part of my blender curve experiments I made a pot of gold and a rainbow

blender curve experiments - connected cubes
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
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

blender curve experiments - fabric
for this part of my blender curve experiments I have woven some fabric using a bunch of curves and the array modifier

blender curve experiments - spaceship
For this part of my blender curve experiments I made a spaceship out of a bezier curve and a bevel object
I then turned the object into a mesh using Alt-C "curve to mesh" and added 2 materials one for the body and one for the window.
I also added a vertex-group to the jet engine to make the particles only come out from the back of the ship and not the whole hull.

blender curve experiments - toy train
For this part of my blender curve experiments I made a toy-train that runs through my particle wood
The track was inspired my by fireplace-train

blender curve experiments - a knot
in this part of my blender curve experiments I tied a curve into a knot
for the first part of the animation I used a build modifier and the tightening of the knot was animated using a shape key
