Subject: Metaball Troubleshoot. PLEASE HELP!
its indeed impossible to boolean metaballs. You can make metaballs that have negative 'melting-force', i think you can get it by ctrl+shift+clicking the metaball icon or something like that... some combination with ctrl, shift and/or alt... i forgot the exact one :-/

Steves Art Gallery........On this page you have to look for Negative Meta balls. I beleive you have to hold the shift key when selecting the metaball Icon, this will make it "negative".
Link to this site is also in the List I put together for the Backroom / Links.
Check the top thread here in the forum. (soon will be posted in the header)

Ockham's razor- It's that simple
Not completely impossible, It will cut away, though it is a soft cut and if you make the negative MB with a different material, it will transfer that material like other metaballs, (gradient transition)
Be cautious, metaballs take a long time to render, and their properties make the scene very KB heavy, and likely to crash or lock on you. Save, save,save, your file as you work on it.

I don't know why, but when I use the metaballs in Bryce 5 to do booleans, they don't work! I know one is positive and one is negative and they refuse to create a boolean when grouped. Does anyone else have this trouble? Is it a glitch in the program and needs an update patch? If so where can I get one? Thanks!
