I played a bit with the glass materials from cycles

for this part of my blender curve experiments I made a pot of gold and a rainbow

For this part of my blender curve experiments I made 2 cubes that are connected by a bezier curve

I added a empty as a hook to the first and last vertex of the curve and then parented a cube to each of these. Now I can move or rotate the cubes and the curve follows.

This could come handy for a lot of things ranging from steampunk machines to 3D busines graphics

For this part of my blender curve experiments I modeled a flower and a vase using bezier curves.

I also added a little bee that follows a bezier-track

A cycles crystal material test render

To achive the color dispersion effect 3 Glass Shaders with slightly different IOR values are used. Each of them has a different color. To make the material a little more bright I added a 4th Glass Shader using white as base color.

The material is based on the diamond-Shader by ~theRealRichard

for this part of my blender curve experiments I have woven some fabric using a bunch of curves and the array modifier

For this part of my blender curve experiments I made a spaceship out of a bezier curve and a bevel object

I then turned the object into a mesh using Alt-C "curve to mesh" and added 2 materials one for the body and one for the window.

I also added a vertex-group to the jet engine to make the particles only come out from the back of the ship and not the whole hull.

I got a new bamboo-tablet recently and this is the first image I made using it.

For this part of my blender curve experiments I made a toy-train that runs through my particle wood

The track was inspired my by fireplace-train

in this part of my blender curve experiments I tied a curve into a knot

for the first part of the animation I used a build modifier and the tightening of the knot was animated using a shape key
