I find Carrara's metaball modeler (meatball modeler, LOL!) is another reason to celebrate the ongoing existence of Carrara.

Not all metaball implementations are equal. Many only have spheres, and they're not really that great to use. Carrara also has cube, cylinder, and a weird throw-pillow shape. You can also move, scale and rotate the individual shapes to refine your forms, as well as making forms that are positive and negative. You can set the degree of subdivision to get smoother forms, too. This seems very powerful.

The interface is a little stilted because the metaball modeler runs in its own room, but it's good once you get used to it.

I enjoy metaball modeling. The only one I recall being better was a 3DS Max plugin, but that was a long time ago. And I'm still getting comfortable here.

some Valentines throw pillows would be fun

Today is the day for them! :heart_tip: I hope it is a wonderful day!

I have used the metaball modeler from time to time. Another great tool in the toolbox. It can be difficult to use the tools when I haven't used it in a while.

once I discovered axis views are under rightclick not an icon I was adding and pulling sticky balls around in all directions and poking holes with the minus ones

is great for making cave systems

TUNNEL l'amour?

playing with the metaballs preset in native content.

it looks like the bubbles are popping. i dont understand how they did that ?

Cool! It looks like the size of some metaballs increase to give the bubbling effect and then metaballs with negative influence are added over time to give the popping effect. I could be wrong, but that's how it looks.
