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.

in this part of my blender particles experiments I used particle-textures to change the size and the location of the particles

Its been a while since I used particles and the BI-Renderer for the last time - so I made a particle experiment again

for this blender particle experiment I used a cached particle system and rendered the particles using a strand material

When starting a blender scene almost everybody removes the default cube. This is kind of sad and therefore I started thinking about who to remove it with style.

in this part I removed the default cube using an animated cycles material to make it burn

more to come ...

When starting a blender scene almost everybody removes the default cube. This is kind of sad and therefore I started thinking about who to remove it with style.

for this part I dissolved the default-cube into lots of smaller cubes and made them slowly fade into non-existence

I used a bunch of cubes and a forcefield to make a nice slow-mo destruction animation

For this part of my blender curve experiments I animated a fuze using dynamic paint and a particle system

The trees of this spooky wood where generated while playing with the new knife tool.

The scene has no active light source. I only used ambient occlusion to make the trees visible

First of all - no, cycles still has no hair or particle renderer - BUT To render short hair that doesn't need hair-dynamics you can use object groups to render the hair.

I made some spirales and deformed them using the proportional editing tool with random influence, grouped them together and used them as dubliobjects in a hair particle system on the head figure

The need to have a bevel value and bevel has to be set to full for this to work.

Still not perfect, because of the lack of hair-dynamics, but very nice for some cartoony characters or still images.

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.
