Okay, I’m a moron. I skipped over this when it first saw it, thinking that a meatball tutorial was a bit too narrow a niche for me. But fortunately, after my nap I was able to read more clearly. Thanks, Justin, another good one.
Great, now I'M hungry.
Great tut. At 3:14 the correct pronunciation for Jan is 'Yan' J being said as a Y
Yay! Justin is back 🤩
...did I go somewhere? :)
Thanks
how can you make metaballs deform around meshes kind of like how they do with other metaballs?
for deforming AROUND meshes id say use the negative metaballs to sorta fake a collision
for merging into meshes
idk
Is there a convert function to convert mesh to metaball? In looking at the Convert options, I'm guessing no? It would probably be a PITA anyway.
I'm just kinda spitballing here.
Click object close to the Add button, scroll down to Convert to
Can you make how to get realistic fabric texture?
bro i made some procedural material u can watch if interested
Hi, love your tutorials, but in my case, I got a special problem. There appear no rings around my single Objects. I cannot grab em. I can selest them in outliner, but with many objects I need a way to select in my viewport. What is my Problem in here?
Hi, I would check your overlay to see if it's enabled. If it is then look into your property filters and see if you accidently disabled the selectable option. Hope that helps!
It's incredible that still they don't allow modifiers on the metaballs final mesh... intuitively it should be trivial...
Thanks Justin…metaballs in a nutshell. 🤔🍷🎩🎩🎩
Funny how a slight anagram for metaball is meatball. :D
Lol - as I was posting this my brain started seeing meatball instead of metaball every time I typed it
@@TheCGEssentials LOL! Have a great day, and thanks for the great tutorials!
it doesnt quite work for what i want but OH MY GOD I DIDNT KNOW YOU COULD DO NEGATIVE META BALLS
