<<Stay tuned for a new Metaball PXP/AXP combo coming very soon.>> Sounds great. A few questions: 1) When can we expect it since we have a project on course that could possibly use this tool? 2) How does it compare to MetaReys Metaballs? 3) Any chance of a working demo IPAS for inquisitive users like myself? 4) What "primitives" does it offer? Blob Sculptor allows for spheres, cones and cylinders which we need. <<You can set any detail level you like from both the PXP and the AXP.>> One feature I'd love is to be able to adjust the level of detail over time. For instance, when the camera is far from the blob it uses a small level of detail and then as it approaches it shows more. Would this be possible? <<What this means is that you'll be able to modify the parameters assigned to the metaball source objects over time in an animation.>> Which parameters? <<It will allow you to create the weirdest, most organic animations you've ever seen!>> In that case send it my way fast! BTW, What happened to the Patch Modeller? David "Mr Blobby" Gould
