Hey there! With all of the talk about metaballs lately, I thought it's time I should find out more about them. Here's an interesting thing I found on the internet about them. I don't know if you've heard of it yet but here it is:

"Bryce 5 metaball easter egg. I learned this from one of the engineers when I was in Ottawa. To make a metaball object that subtracts rather than adds to an object, press the shift key when clicking the create metaball object. cool! You'd better label the object as a negative or sucky metaball, because Bryce doesn't give you any means of identifying the metaball type once you've made it. (name it something like "negative metaball" in the Object Attributes dialog box.)"

I tried it out and it's pretty neat.

Ah susan k's website. Yup a cool trick.

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

Yep check the forums, search for "metaballs", you'll find lots of info.

Ive beeng playing with that trick for awhile....Ive made 8 parts of my metaball series....9th is currently rendering:) you can check 'em out in my gallery:)
