>>> How DO you keep the face count down when using Metaballs, and still keep a reasonable level of detail? The mesh I am trying to create has the smallest sphere scaled to 5% of the largest one.<<< You should try the Optimize IPAS. It is VERY customizeable and offers all the control you need to cut down on polygon count WITHOUT affecting the detail too seriously. It's on the Yost IPAS disk #7. -Phil PentaGrafx Prods (http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~desm/)
