I have created some animations using the fluid simulator in blender before but this experiment is the first one I really like. The material is a mixture of a glass node, a transparent node and a glossy node. The fluid was rendered with a resolution of 300 and a subdivision of 2. If you want to render it your self - be warned it takes some time.

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.

I started playing with the blender fluid simulation

This is experiment 1

This is a sphere of a transparent fluid in a low gravity setting, simulated using the blender fluid simulation

for this part of my blender particle experiments I used a meta-sphere as object for a fluid particle system.

I had some trouble rendering the sketch with cycles, because I got random blobs of metaballs every 5th to 10nth frame, which I had to clean up manually.

Maybe its because the sketch was rendered using a RC for 2.64 - I will retry this with the final release.

for this part of my blender fluid experiments I turned a textobject into a mesh and used it as an obstacle for a fluid

For this part of my blender fluid experiments I generated a hight viscose fluid

For this part of my blender experiments I used the fluid simulator without any gravity.

This is also the first render I did with the new blender 2.64 release candidate

For this blender particle experiments I made another set of fluid particles that cover a sphere. This time I also animated the particles using ShapeKeys

For this part of my blender particle experiments I made some fluid particles that are floating around an invisible sphere

To make the particles float on the spherical surface I added a sphere and made it invisible. Then I added a forcefield and set the strength to -1. I turned of the gravity for the particles and made the sphere a collision object.
