Another question 🙂 How can I prevent the metaballs from merging with each-other without repelling each-other? For example, an arm bending or folding over, without merging with itself. I don't want the metaballs to repel each-other because I want the arm to press against itself without space between. Thanks. -James Franssen

James, <<How can I prevent the metaballs from merging with each-other without repelling each-other?>> By using 'grouping' – it's a new feature in v2.0. Grouping lets you group reference spheres so that they won't 'melt' with other groups – very useful for keeping the fingers of a hand from merging. Because you are a registered user of v1.0, it will be sent to you automaticly when released. -Kyle
