I just downloaded the processing pre-release 3.0a8 and tested it with a bunch of parallax flowers - because spring

For this animation I used pyroevils cubesurfer addon to create a surface from a keyed particle system. unfortunately the python api doesn´t update particle positions of a keyed particle system so there are a view workarounds necessary to get it work (see pyroevils post in the blenderartists forum for details)

For this animation I used a similar technique as in my growing-texture animation. I created an image sequence in processing and used it as an animated image texture in blender. I used a transparent material everywhere the texture has a black pixel. The texture is also used as a displacement texture to make the hexagonal tiles better visible

The processing code is based on one of my abstract art generators I have written in processing

I used a torus as a gravitational sink and as obstacle for a particle set, which was emitted from a slightly larger torus, for this animation.

I made some minor modifications to my sfz2multisample converter to improve it's stability if a section starts with a comment.

See the Sfz2Multisample-Projectpage for download links and a short instruction on how to use it

for this animation I used a similar setup as in my blog post last week, but instead of creating an iso-surface from the fluid particles I used the molecular addon and made sure they don't overlap.

For this animation I used an image sequence to switch between a transparent and an opaque material in cycles.

To generate the image texture I wrote a processing sketch that animates black stripes growing from bottom to top at various speeds. (see below for the sourcecode of the processing sketch)

for this animation I used an iso-surface on a fluid particle system. To make the particles fall back on the sphere I disabled gravity and added a negative force-field in the center of the sphere.

For the material I didn´t use a SSS-Shader but added a translucent and a diffuse shader (looks very similar in this case but renders a hell lot faster)

I played with the freestyle addon and the push/pull transform again. Aaaaand tried out a new sample pack :-)

One of my kids needed storycubes for her homework and her teacher provided them with instructions how to cut and glue paper-cubes. But since we have already arrived at the 21st century we 3D printed them instead :-)

if you are interested in making your own the openscad code I used to generate the cube mesh is

translate( [0,0,10] ) {
    cube( 20, center=true );
}
