Very nice work. This will make creating base models very fast and easy for use in Z and Mud.
Its like MetaReyes from 1997.
That was very useful for organic modeling.
You could also build muscle like shapes and negative spheres that pushed into the mesh.
I never understood why it wasn’t integrated into max considering how advanced it was for its time.
Looks like the topology is much cleaner than metareyes ever was. thats
what the big drawback was with metareyes, you got a super dense triangulated mesh. This looks much better.
Looks great, finally some news regarding metaballs! The quad topology looks promising…
This is simply brilliant! Good work!
