Metaballs and metaformz™

 

Four variations of metaballs can be generated directly as primitives; they are the ball, stretched ball, ellipsoid, and stretched ellipsoid shown below.

 

Metaformz are metaballs carried to unprecendented extents. That is, the metaball behavior applied to a large variety of shapes, not just spheres.

 

 

Metaformz can be created either directly or as derivative objects and combined through a constructive geometry grouping structure, to derive some astounding organic blends of composite objects.
