This is a short animation I made with blender 2.5 to test shape key animation

I wanted to play a bit with the new Blender 2.5 and made a model of a vulcano. I haven't found the time yet to print it on my makerbot - so I consider it as work in progress.

you can download the blender file here or the stl version here

While browsing through thingiverse I noticed a huge number of draggons but a serious lack of wizzards. So I started the new blender 2.5 and moddled one.

The blender 2.5 GUI is a really huge improvement over the 2.4-Versions - absolutely thumbs up for this :-)

you can download the blend file or you can download the stl file if you want to print it yourself.

Then I tried to print something using the support material option of skeinforge for the first time. The support-material can be activated in the "Raft" Section of the skeinforge settings. Make sure you set "Support Inset over Perimeter Extrusion With (ratio)" to some negative value - I used -3 - or else your support material will stick to your model.

I played with the geomerative - library and made a sketch that lets letters explode in particles similar to the sphere in this sketch I wrote some days ago

This is a short processing-sketch I wrote today, featuring a pattern made of circles. Looks a bit retro - somebody should screenprint this to fabric an make t-shirts of it ...

I made a processing sketch that generates a jigsaw-puzzle-piece using curveVertices

I made a sketch that draws flowers, but the petals arent overlapping circles but touching arcs.

I calculate the radius and the angles of the touching arcs based on the radius of the flower and the number of petals.

then an (petal* 2)-vertex-polygon is inserted to fill the flower.

I played around with ways of visualizing 3D functions in 2D space. This is a visualization of the function f = sin(x*y * c1 + c2).

c1 and c2 can be changed by moving the mousecursor.

I played a bit with the geomerative library and made a processing sketch featuing some growing letters.
