Try Metereyes, they have a Metaball modeller as an IPAS for 3DS.

Martin – What is the advantage or purpose of using a Blob Modeler? What sort of things/objects are best modeled with a Blob Modeler? Judy

Judy, >> What is the advantage or purpose of using a Blob Modeler?

Especially, hard to animate them and the way viscosity and fusion affects them when they touch and seperate. Also, it's good for organic characters, especially bendy, stretchy, muscular or fat "toon" characters.
