For this part of my blender particle experiments I made some paperplanes fly

For this part of my blender particle experiments I used an emission material on the particles and a brick texture on the floor

For this part of my blender particle experiments I used a dynamic paint canvas to generate the waves. The particles "cool down" a bit while jumping around using the age input of the particle-info node

For this part of my blender particle experiments I used the size parameter of the particle info node to influence the material of the particles

for this part of my blender particle experiments I used the particle age to influence the material and the color of the particles

for this part of my blender particle experiments I used a meta-sphere as object for a fluid particle system.

I had some trouble rendering the sketch with cycles, because I got random blobs of metaballs every 5th to 10nth frame, which I had to clean up manually.

Maybe its because the sketch was rendered using a RC for 2.64 - I will retry this with the final release.

for this part of my blender particle experiments I used a walking stickfigure as a particle instance object. The stickfigure was generated using the new skin-modifier from blender 2.64

For this part of my blender particle experiments I used lots of very small light emitting particles and a force field

for this part of my blender particle experiments I made a cave out of a torus and used a static particle system with random sized objects.

for this part of my blender particle experiments I made some fluid particles that are flowing around a sphere. I chose cubic objects to be able to play with the rotation parameter of the particles
