Metablobs? Oh my!

Liberty3D citizens Kevin Philips and Dana W. Burman have made a few short videos on metablob animation.

Then he followed that up by making an instructional video that demonstrates how HyperVoxel blending works.

Dana built on Kevin’s work by showing how, if you don’t need the control or loopability, you can very quickly set up a similar animation using LightWave 11’s Flocking tools.

More settings might be added in the future whenRead More
