freestyle btrace
I wanted to test how well freestyle works with curves in cycles so I made a particle system and traced them using the bTrace addon. Works pretty well :-)

growing along an animated curve
For this animation I used an array modifier and made it follow a curve. To make things more interesting I added some shapekeys to the curve and added a noise modifier to the animation

particle grid glitter
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

a branch in blender
This animation was inspired by the branch I drew last week. I used empties as hook elements on the bevel curves to make the curves grow. It´s the same technique I described in this tutorial in january last year.

crawl on a sphere
For this short animation I created a fluid particle system that crawls on a sphere in a no gravity setting and traced the particles using the btrace plugin

blender curve experiments - extrude and bevel
for this part of my blender curve experiments I animated the extrude and bevel parameter in combination with a solidify modifier
this is my day 19 project for 30daysofcreativity

blender curve experiments - bevel2
For this part of my blender curve experiments I made a surface using a cyclic bezier curve and a non-cyclic one and animated both curves using shape keys
unfortunately the surface is a bit unstable at the bottom.

blender curve experiments - twisted
for this part of my blender curve experiments I deformed two spheres using a beziercurve

blender curve experiments - bevel
For this part of my blender curve experiments I played with the bevel parameter. The beziercurves are animated using shapekeys
