Quote - We had that once with Metaform. Niiiice fluid effects. But it required you to simulate and animate, so it scared a lot of people. Then they changed Python in Poser, and it no longer works. It also seems to be abandoned.
It would be so much more useful now that most people have computers that could run it quickly, and Poser is also much more stable than it was then (it really is, y'know).
I mention it every time metaballs are brought up. I was hoping maybe someone from the dev team would even look into its status. Someone said that it was still available for Daz... The site seems unchanged for years now, though it is still up. I'd love to have an updated version, but even as a customer I was never able to get a response as to why it was abandoned or if there were plans to take it elsewhere/do something completely different with it. It must be nice to have the luxury of producing something truly useful and having no real interest in providing it to anyone. I suppose there could be some legitimate reason, but someone's been keeping that site up.
Between metaballs, fluids, and particle effects, it would certainly address a number of peoples' needs.
