Subject: Metaballs....
X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas

We are currently getting ready to do a project which involves dripping
oozing stuff. Therefore we thought we would try animating metaball objects in
Layout and then using their positional info in modeler with Fori's metaball
plugin to create a set of replacement objects for use back in modeler.
So our questions are: How stable is the metaballs plugin? Is it going to
be robust enough for this kind of use. What kind of experiences have other
people had with this plugin? Are there other plugins that might work better.
Any information anyone could pass along would be greatly appreciated.
