For this animation I used a voronoi-texture as a bump displacement in on a iso-surface generated by a particle system

I took the diffusion reaction animation I posted yesterday and used it as a displacement texture for a mesh in blender

A new Pre-Release of Processing has been uploaded to processing.org this week, so I wrote a diffusion/reaction-Simulation sketch and played a bit with the various parameters. (Thanks to Karl Sims for this excellent tutorial)

Here is a video and a screenshot of one of the simulation runs

A while ago Blender Diplom created an awesome tutorial on how to simulate an ink blob in blender using the smoke simulator. Unfortunately this tutorial uses the blender internal render.

I played a bit with the cycles smoke materials to recreate this in cycles. Here is my result not perfect but getting there

The particles in this animation start on a volume grid of a complicated mesh with a bunch of modifiers

for this animation I experimented with a static particle system and animated only various different displacement textures on the particles

An ambient electronic track recorded an mixed using bitwig-studio and the u-he ace plugin

for this animation I applied the "select random" - "subdivide" technique to an ico-sphere

To create the mesh for this animation I used select random and extrude and applied a skin modifier to the result - I really like the playground-toy kind of look it got

the creation process of this mesh started very similar to the displacemed greeble cube I posted yesterday. I used a cube, selected a random set of faces and subdivided them. After doing this a view times I used select random one more time and extruded the selected faces.

Then I applied a subdivision modifier to smooth the mesh. Because it started to look really awesome in wireframe mode, I used a wireframe-modifier to create the final net-like structure you can see in this render.
