blender particle experiments - dissolving tree
for this part of my blender experiments I made a dissolving tree using a particle system, a turbulence force-field and an explode modifier the tree was generated using the sapling-add-on

sphere array
I made a simple animation using the blender array modifier

blender fluid experiments - low gravity fluid
For this part of my blender experiments I used the fluid simulator without any gravity.
This is also the first render I did with the new blender 2.64 release candidate

blender particle experiments - keyed particles
For this part of my blender particle experiments I used a keyed particle system using a object-group to render the particles

blender particle experiments - dynamic paint pseudo-reactor particles
For this part of my blender particle experiments I used dynamic paint to generate an effect similar to the reactor particles from blender 2.49
I used 2 particle systems, the first one is setup as a brush for dynamic-paint, and influences a vertex-group on a plane.
The second one is a hair-particle system that uses the vertex-group for length and density of the created particles.
so I can create a bunch of smaller particles where the big ones hit the plane.

Blender particle experiments - particle-info node
For this part of my blender particle experiments I used the new ParticleInfo-Node in the Cycles material editor to generate a material that changes over the lifetime of a particle
in the current testbuild the particle-node still has some issues like crashing when the emitter is hidden or setting the particle lifetime to zero on the frame before the particle gets removed, but I really like it
this won't be the last animation I made using it - for sure :-)

blender cell-fracture experiment
This is an animation that uses the cell-fracture addon, which gets included into blender 2.64.
This is my first render using the blender 2.64-testbuild2
