<<metaballs offers something similar to this. Have you seen…\
Im an expert at modeling clay ( I can model anything ) and I really
think metaballs is not similar. The thing thats great about clay is
the ability to push it, smooth it, and impress into it using any
object as a tool. Its so directly intuitive compared to any computer
modeling tool. The thinking processes required to be adept at the
various computer modeling techniques are convoluted compared to clay
modeling. The computer tools including fit and metaballs are amazing
but primitive compared to the manipulation of clay. I cant begin to
imagine the programming that would be required to get closer to this
kind of ease and functionality in modeling so Im not complaining about
the present tools, just pointing out their difficulties.
