fix particle curves

Nikolaus Gradwohl2013-10-28T06:18:42+00:00

For this animation I placed a particle set with no physic simulation on a small meth and create one particle per vertex. Then I animated the meth and created curves using the bTrace plugin from the particle positions

crawl on a sphere

Nikolaus Gradwohl2013-10-08T06:36:18+00:00

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

For this animation I combined the blender Metaball objects with the cycles hair renderer

Day 3 of 30DaysOfCreativity 2013 - Particle Curves 2

Nikolaus Gradwohl2013-06-03T05:57:11+00:00

For this animation I used the blender btrace plugin to create curves from particles. The plugin is marked as experimental but it worked pretty well.

This is my Day 3 project for 30DaysOfCreativity

Day 2 of 30DaysOfCreativity 2013 - Particle Curves

Nikolaus Gradwohl2013-06-02T09:24:22+00:00

This animation was created with blender hair particles. I made the bottom size of the hair strands really big and animated the start value. This is also my Day 2 project for 30DaysOfCreativity

I have no idea why the end positions of the curve move when the start value is animated, but I like the effect.

light particle trail

Nikolaus Gradwohl2013-05-27T06:24:06+00:00

For this animation I made a sphere bounce of a surface using the bullet physics engine of blender. The light trail was created using a particle system without gravity and a small light source as a particle

keyed particles

Nikolaus Gradwohl2013-03-23T12:04:26+00:00

I created a small figure using the skin modifier and used it as a target for a keyed particle system. The glowing effect was created using a glare filter in the compositor.

slime

I used a mball as a particle object and created a translucent cycles material to look it more slimiee

cube town wallpaper

Nikolaus Gradwohl2013-01-14T03:07:55+00:00

The wallpaper I used on my desktop started to get a bit boring, so I created a new one using blender. The main light-source of the render is Ambient Occlusion and a small point light near the horizon.
