Ok, is there something I'm missing or do volumetric textures just not work on metaballs? I figured it would be a great idea to use metaballs to make volumetric clouds because it'd be real easy to get the slow flattened tops/bottoms of the coulds with the negatives, but when I put a volume texture on one no matter the size it comes up as nothing, any help out there?

Nope, says so in the book...ditto on Booleen ops too.

Metaballs don't seem to work with volu material - except if the metaball is palce right in the center of ground zero in Bryce. That don't help much -if anything. I found out about it accidentally.
