Ordinary Metaballs

Metaballs with non-blending blobs, notice edge between yellow and red blobs.

Metaballs with 1/f noise in x-direction, none in y-direction, blending fails

Failed attempt at 1/2^2 noise with metaballs. Concave areas not rendered, blending fails.

Arm 1. fov 30 deg

Arm 1. fov 55 deg Zoomed out.

Arm 2. doubled size, kept texture const.

2d perlin noise textures

"Moon" 4 octaves of 1/f noise applied to normals (click for larger version) F=1/64 to 1/4

Turbulent ball F=1/4, noise applied to diffuse red.

Noisy ball, F=1/4 in X&Z, 1/16 in Y
