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

blender curve experiments - spaceship
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.

blender curve experiments - toy train
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

blender curve experiments - a knot
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

blender curve experiments - boat
for this part of my blender curve experiments I modeled a boat using a beziercurve, a bevel and a taper object

blender curve experiments - bend
for this part of my blender curve experiments I made plenty of curves using an array modifier and used a shape key to move them

The Three Laws of Robotic
I made an anmation of a robot reciting the Three Laws of Robotic
Because every Robot has to know them. They are the law.
The audio track was generated using freetts.

blender curve experiments - twist and bevel
I desided to start a new series of blender experiments. This time I want to explore the possibilies of curve objects.
For this part of my blender curve experiments I tried to twist a beveled curve-object and change the bevel object using shape keys

blender particle experiments - forcefield
for this part of my blender particle experiments I moved a forcefield through a particle system.

cycles material animation test 2
This short animation is my second cycles material-animation test. This time I animated the IOR parameter of a glass material to make the letters go from nearly invisible to solid glass and then the mix parameter to turn it to a diffuse surface or metal
would make a nice effect for a film title
