Metaballs update

Posted: January 3rd, 2009 | Author: John del Rosario | Filed under: AS 3.0, Experiments, Programming and Development | Tags: , | 1 Comment »

Still delving into metaballs. I implemented the suggestions in this page for optimizing, and the results are good. I could even animate it – just barely though, at ~15 FPS on my browser. :)  Again, most of this is just copy & paste from the source provided in the tutorial.

Metaballs – move your mouse around.  Click to change the target ball.

Still looking for a more elegant solution for Flash. This is done on a very small stage size, with only 4 balls. I want to do a full screen version, with at least 10 balls moving around. :P

    Hey,
    This is very cool – someday, when I get back to boxcad (my pet physics sim. project), I would love to implement something like this for liquid effects.
