Thanks for your reply — it really does help. And I hate to keep hammering away at this, but for me it's the crux of the issue, namely, how difficult is it to create something useful. Practice is no problem — I finally can get 3DS to do almost what I set out to do when I sit down in front of the program. That only took a couple of years, but then I didn't have more than an hour or so a night. I don't mind if it takes me a dedicated effort to master modeling with metaballs, but I have to know that I *can* do it. Have you seen the freeware Blob Sculptor? If so, I'd be particularly interested in knowing whether you think MetaReyes is easier to use (to make something worthwhile).
