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.
