I created a new background image for my computer today using a volumetric material in cycles.

here are the material nodes I used for the flames and the smoke.

For this animation animation I combined a cell-fracture explosion and some particle traces using the bTrace addon. To make the shards of the plane move I placed a force field below the shards and turned the gravity off. The particles are not influenced by the force field, but by a turbulence field placed above the plane.

I created a simple endless scrolling animation of hills with trees using processing today. The background is a gradient image that is pre-generated in the setup() method. The hills are created using curveVertex(), the trees are simple ellipses and rectangles. After each layer I burred the image with a radius of 1 so the further away the layers are the more blurred they get

Happy birthday rubics cube :-)

for this animation I used the rigid body physics simulation of blender. The only lightsource is the icosphere that bounces through the peg board

I've been drawing with my color pencils tonight

This is my second experiment with the blender boolean modifier. For this video I used two of them, a first one to create the slices of the sphere and a second one to make them appear in the first half of the video
