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).
