Hello everyone!
I’m working on a project right now wherein we have the x/y position of blobs correlating with the metaball position inside of a particle field made via a grid. I have made it possible for the instancing to work, but from what I can see it is instancing the actual particle field AND the metaballs, not just the metaballs. I tried separating the metaballs into their own geometry but it doesn’t recognize the instancing(?) it seems. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
Thank you

hi,
Metaballs are SOPs only. They can be instantiated but will only appear as spheres. The blob effect is processed on CPU only so you won’t have the deformation using the instancing method
Hi @Gallo
I’m using the x/y position of the blobs, not the actual shape of them. So it is merely positional data for the metaball to move around with. I’m trying to figure out how to instance the metaball (regardless of shape) positionally, that’s all. I know that at least is possible because it works as I have it now, but it won’t do it for just the metaball, instead it does it for every geometry.
