1. Metaballs when grouped with each other don't turn into spheres. Have you downloaded the free update to 5.01? If you haven't, do it now. If you try to group a group of metaballs with a new metaball or second group of metaballs, the groups will have no effect on each other. You must ungroup all groups and then group all the metaballs into one group (no subgroups of metaballs will have any effect on each other). 2. Metaballs can be either positive or negative. The negative ones can be used to "indent" positive metaballs. to see this in action, use the provided link to see a simple object made with metaballs. The dents in the head of the rubber duck are made with negative metaballs (negative metaballs are themselves invisible in the render). Be prepared to experiment a lot to get just the effect you want, by changing the size and position of the negative metaballs. Hope this helps.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
