for this animation I used 3 array modifiers and controlled them with animated emties.

For this animation I turned a curve into a mesh and subdivided it several times. Then I placed particles of different sizes at the vertices and used a field to dissolve it

For this animation I placed an ocean modifier on an icosphere in displace mode. Doesn't look like a wave but makes very interesting deformations.

I have made another experiment with the bTrace addon and the cycles subsurface scattering shader node

To create this little toy planet I only used an icosphere and a cycles material with a displacement texture, several math nodes and a color ramp for coloring the mountains

For this animation I used two particle systems, a hair particle system using a blender hair material node and a second one using a icosphere with an emission material

I experimented again with the blender material displacement output for this animation. I used a displacement modifier to make coarse modifications and a blender material with a displacement texture for the finer ripples. I really like the new displacement settings that got introduced in 2.69

For this animation I played with the cell fracture add-on and some meta-balls

I played a bit with the displacement output of cycles materials and the new experimental "true" displacement feature in the mesh settings

For this animation I created a sequence with the breaking sphere and then a second one for the melting effect. Then I combined them using the video sequence editor, by reversing the first part and then playing the second part.
