Creating Dynamic Waves & Wakes using Blender’s Dynamic Paint
JoaoYates demonstrates how to use Blender’s Dynamic Paint Module to create dynamic waves around an animated object. In a recent update to Blender, Dynamic Paint has moved from the branch to the Blender trunk. Dynamic Paint essentially allows you to use objects and particles as a “brush” to paint other objects within Blender.

Using BLAM The Blender Camera Calibration Toolkit
Stuffmatic recently released BLAM Addo-On for Blender, a Camera Calibration Toolkit for Blender which allows you to match your geometry over an image to match the camera accurately. Check out the post for the release of BLAM Camera Calibration Toolkit Add-On for Blender here.
Stuffmatic writes: No Blender nerd will have missed the recent introduction of motion tracking, which provides a nice workflow for mixing video footage and 3D models. While awesome, the current motion tracking implementation is limited to video footage with significant enough camera movement and perspective shift and (as far as I know) there is currently no easy way of mixing 3D models with still images or fixed tripod shots, so I decided to put together an add-on for this purpose.

Point Cloud Skinner for Blender
Hans.P.G. shares a script for Blender that allows you to create geometry or skin a point cloud of vertices in Blender 3d. Point Cloud Skinner for Blender can skin shapes of point cloud data and can be found here.
Hans Writes: This script, Point Cloud Skinner can skin a cloud of vertices, which means to create a 3D surfaced mesh out of just a cloud of vertices that has no faces. It can skin any shapes of point clouds, such as a surveyed geography point cloud that represents a landform somewhere, a fluid volumetric point cloud obtained by numerical fluid simulation, or anything you like. You can see some sample meshes that the script produced in “Results” part below.
Using the Bleeble Animated Surface AddOn For Blender 2.6.1
Atom demonstrates basic usage of the Bleeble addon for Blender 2.6.1. Bleeble is a Blender AddOn for version 2.6.1 or better. The concept behind Bleeble is that you create selection sets and animate parameters for those sets.
In this video the two sets are represented by the two colors. Using a 12×12 torus as a source mesh, two sets are mapped to two different code types or generation algorithms. Each code type has its own color or material. The orange set is derived from the center ring of the torus. It uses code type 2 which generates recursive protrusions or inset. The red set generates from a different face selection set. It uses code type 1 to generate random size protrusions whose seed changes over time.
from the tutorial post: Here is a basic how to introductory tutorial for the Bleeble python Addon for Blender 2.6.1. In this video I show how to use the Bleeble AddOn to re-create the the initial Bleeble torus from my other Vimeo post. It covers mesh creation, materials, code types, parameters and animating selection sets.
