For this animation I used the animation node addon to displace each vertex of a icosphere using a vector wiggle node. The icosphere was rendered with freestyle enabled.

for this animation I used two cellfractured objects and transformed one into the other

For this animation I used two animation node trees. The first one animates the shards of the cube, the second one is responsible for the sphere shards. The nodes networks might look a bit complicated but the principle behind it is simple. The cube shards get translated outward, are rotated by a random amount and then scaled to zero. At the same time the shards of the sphere make the same movements in reverse.

to achieve the washed out look I rendered the freestyle lines on a separate renderlayer - blurred the image in the compositor and then used an alpha-over node to add the lines.

The soundtrack for this animation was created in bitwig studio, the boxes are rendered with cycles and the blender freestyle addon

For this animation I used an explode modifier on a subdivided cube mesh, that is triggered by a particlesystem. The particles are moved by a turbulence-, a vortex- and a forcefiled. Rendered with cycles and freestyle

I played with the freestyle addon and the push/pull transform again. Aaaaand tried out a new sample pack :-)

This is my 4th experiment with the cubesurfer addon by pyroevil. For this animation I used two fluid particle systems, the molecular addon and freestyle

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 :-)

I recently discovered the push/pull and the random transform functions in blenders object/transform menu and used them to create this animation

starting with blender 2.72 freestyle can be used in cycles too, without having to use tricks like layers with different renderers. Unfortunately there is no freestyle pass in the render layer anymore, so we can´t use the line drawing of our scene in the compositor as easy as with the blender internal renderer. (by the time of writing 2.72 is not yet released - so currently I'm using 2.72-RC1 to create the screenshot)

what we can do to separate the lines and recombine it in the compositor is render it on a separate render layer.
