I was using 1.0 - god help me. On Irix. Ouch. I still have nightmares.
But I tell you this - when I opened the XSI Primitives menu the first
time and saw 'Implicit' I just KNEW that there were going to be
metaballs based off the implicit shapes. Man was I wrong.
Hey Soft - remember there was an entire MOVIE based on metaballs - the
one with the little green jello creatures.. what was that name?
