3D Metaballs are a valuable tool for modeling "blobby shapes", or something that should look "organic". They could even be used for fake fluid simulations. In this article, we'll explore how to render Metaballs in 3D, using ray casting tecniques. The Metaballism 1 video series by Alexander Mitzkus …

Metaballs are blobby objects that "glue togheter" when they came close. They were Invented by Jim Blinn for the 1980 documentary TV show Cosmos to represent atoms and molecules. Metaballs later became a popular effect in the demoscene in the early 90s. In this article we'll see how render them in 2D. Info In …
