Judy, No matter how much I'd like to have created the T-REX, I didn't. 🙂 It was created by Jose De Espona. <<-how are they fused into one unit as opposed to little lumpy balls?>> What you're seeing in the T-REX images is the reference spheres that he used to create the resultant mesh, which you see in the top view – nicely textured. The reasin you don't see little lumps in the final rendered image is because the Metaballs process uses the reference spheres as a guide to create ONE smooth, freeform mesh. So, the spheres you see in the bottom image are never rendered.
