Spheres on a plane
I recently found the "Duplication->Faces"-Feature in blender - it alows you to parent an object to a mesh and then replace all faces of that mesh by instances of the object.
really nice if you want to make lots of objects in a regular shape.
In this animation I made a plane that gets animated by a displacement-modifier and added some spheres which replace the faces
