I started playing with the new Fluid simulator in blender and rendered only the particle systems using eevee.

I started rendering animations using eevee

for this animation I created a 3D grid of lines of grease pencil strokes with a python script

For this animation i created two shapes with different materials, that have stroke and fill colors activated

While experimenting with grease pencil animation scripted in python, i recognized that the grease pencil shapes also affect the depth map - so they can be used to change the DoF using the defocus node in the compositor. I was really pleasantly surprised - this opens a whole lot of new possibilities :-)

for this animation I animated the drawing of the circular grease pencil strokes themselves

for this animation i used a python scripted grease pencil animation similar to that in my blogpost from yesterday and added a proper blender 3D Object. I rendered the animation with eevee and freestyle

i recently read an article by Alex Martinelli about scripting the grease pencil objects in blender 2.8 (available here) and had to try this myself. I haven't used the grease pencil system in blender much so far, but now that I can use it to script in 3D I will definitly do more experiments with it.

the source code is heavily based on the examples of Alex, only the two nested loops are my code

the texture in this animation was created in the shader editor by calculating the color value based on uv coordinates using math nodes

I started playing with generated textures in the shader node editor of blender. For this animation I used two sine nodes to calculate the displacement texture and the factor for the color mix node from the uv coordinates of a torus. Then I used a noise texture node to distort the texture coordinates and animated the scale factor
