I started experimenting with mirrorball environment maps in cycles. This is the result of experiment no 1

for this animation I used an ocean simulation modifier on a plane and then sliced it up using two boolean modifiers on an array of cubes.

I planned to model and animate a rubics cube for quite some time, but it turned out that animating the rotation is a lot harder than I expected it to be. After some (failed) experiments I found out that the trick is moving all the origins of the cubes to the center and using quaternoid-rotation for the animation.

One of my kids had to draw a monster for her english homework. And because she can, she used my black-ink and watercolor supplies :-)

here is her description of schleimi (which was the second part of her homework):

This is Schleimi. She is a mixture of a slug and a bird. Her body is darkpink. The wings of her are darkblue. She has twenty black spots. My monster can´t fly. She is as fast as a normal slug. And she is taller than a slug or a bird. Schleimis favourite food is plants and vegetables. She is twenty years old. She loves playing ballgames with her sisters.

For this animation I combined the particle cluster nodes with a iso-surface from the cubesurfer addon

For this animation I used a pyhton script node to generated 3D coordinates for a closed curve you can download the blend file here

For this animation I created a 9x9x9 grid of cubes and animated the position of the cubes using the Animation-Nodes-Addon you can download the blend file here
