Hi Edward,
All I can say is that the name of SoftImage's metaball package is
META-CLAY and that of course real CLAY is a fluid. If you think metaball
modelling is primitive , think about the 6 hours it took to model the
female torso of METAP2.JPG and the 2 days involved in modelling the T-REX you
can find in TREXMB.ZIP in IPAS USAGE LIBRARY. With real clay a model suited for
digitizing should be 50 or 60 centimeters high . It would need an solid frame
and would take many days only to dry. (and of course , once it drys … it cant
move! <g>)
