Metaball equation

hello,

 

I have been using the metaball component, and I have been looking for the ecuation used on it, I have found several ecuations for metaballs(I need the one with the threshold included), but wich one is the one used on the GH component? 

 

thank you in advance

    Ok,

     

    but the fact is that I want to do a network of bubbles connected. So I would like to know, how to use the threshold to have each bubble with a controlled size and control the conections.

     

    Actually I have done it, using several point for each bubble, but I think that If I use a custom one, and change the threshold, maybe I can do what I want.

      PERFECT!!!

       

      thank you so much, I was using the other component, I haven't thought about using the custom one.

       

      Although I need to find the real ecuation used on this component, because I have to justify the form and how the threshold work.

       

      Again thank you.

        Hello,

        These posts have been helpful to me too, thank you David.

        I was wondering if there are any helpful hints in regard to making a metaball obey surface/mesh boundaries?

        Can area be applied to a metaball?

        Thank you anyone who can answer this soon please,

        Sarah.
