I'll try to address each of your questions; 1) The metaball modeler should be available very shortly. 2) It has several additional features not available in the MetaReyes Metaball package. Most of which I described in my initial message. 3) A working demo should be feasible, but it will have to wait until later in the beta stage. 4) The only primitive currently supported is the sphere, but there are plans to include several other primitives. 5) The parameters that can be modified over time are "strength" and "detail". Strength can be assigned on a per-source-object basis and detail applies to the overall metaball surface. 6) The new and improved Patch Modeler will be released very shortly as well. Sorry I can't give you more concrete dates for release but, as you can imagine, trying to release two sets of programs at once is no small feat. I don't intend to allow their release until the programs are "perfect". <g> Danny…
