Metaball Tutorial (Patomkin)
Created on 2023-09-18T22:41:03-05:00
Metaballs are basically radiant gradients or distance fields. Multiple balls are blended together by max(a,b) to create a combined field.
The field can be sent through a curve, cutoff, or gradient filter next, to make the shapes appear merged where they are a certain level of closeness to one another.
