>You define an enclosed volume with conventional tools, then you can cause n by >n particles (spheres in this case) to either "fill the volume", or to be snapped to >the surface's CV's. Then export to 3DS. This is worth the price of admission, if I understand it correctly. Does "define an enclosed volume" essentially mean model a thingee? Or, in other words, assuming I can use the modeling functions, I create the model (any way I can in R3D) and then I can run the "fill er up" function? If so, then it sounds like MetaReyes, 3DS, and R3D belong on EVERYONE'S shelf (at least those of us interested in character animation). And is it too much to hope that I could define a model in 3DS, import it into R3D, and fill er up there?
