    Omg it's actually metaballs? I always read meatballs

    Note to self: make sure unit scale is set to 1 when trying to use metaballs, they don't work as expected at 0.01 unit scale.

      And at 1:39, if you look good enough, there's 1 frame where it says "WHAT ARE MEATBALLS?"

    ah finaly somebody take care about those wonderfull tool, that existe for more than 3 decades in other software like lightwave, but the anime " Golgo 13 " was probably the first movie that used this technic in 1983 for the skull modeling in the opening sequence.

    I want a plugin to automatically skin a rig with metaballs. (no autocorrect, not meatballs!)

    i just used metaballs for the first time and i can see it being a game changer! imagine making a rigged clay-face with this stuff. Might take a bunch of patience, but it'd be seriously fruitful considering how much life the movement of metaballs brings. I wish there were like... a mesh modifier? Where it becomes a mesh when you need it to be a mesh but when you disable it you can tweak movement using the metaballs. Idk how possible that would be, but man I would prefer making all characters using metaballs now

    The meat'a'ball joke is fun but this is an amazing presentation that has given me so many ideas. I'm late to the party but I have to give huge props to Alexander.

    New drinking game. Take a shot every time he says "meat a' ball" Other than that, some pretty cool stuff.

    • @marcfuchs6938
      @marcfuchs6938 Před 3 lety

      My bigger issue there is, that he kept saying wielding all the time, when I am sure he meant welding. (And I know, old comment is old)

      No it doesn't but ZBrush has ZSpheres, kinda like Metaballs

    why metaball couldn't just be an option in the physics or even a modifier

    Basemeshes vs box is SO much easier to get good results fast.

      No. I've been waiting years for that to happen though.

      @@painterpaw8702 I think there are some tools that work pretty well in Unity now If you're interested. But I haven't seen anything for Blender still unfortunately.

    • @dutchdykefinger
      @dutchdykefinger Před 6 lety +1

      yep
      then again, actual fluid simulation isn't too fast either, so i guess it has its purposes as a quick and dirty hack, and it could be pretty cool in eevee soon to get a quick preview for showing animated liquid metal and suchwithout spending hours baking fluids
      metaballs in particle systems are good fun for procedural modeling too :D
