Well, metaballs don't seem to accept volume materials BUT if you place a metaball at the center of Bryce universe you can apply and see volume material rendered. Not much use though since if you move it away the material effect is lost. Damn, I hoped they fix it soon. ------------ Susanna: Poser Animations to Bryce 4/5 www.datamike.com/susu.htm

Or you can make your metaball mesh in Metasequoia and import it into Bryce. This site doesn't have a metaball tut (I'll put one up soon though), but it does give info on the freeware. http://www.annsartgallery.com/donut.html
