Vray Metaball + MASH

[simmsimaging]

Is there a way to use Vray Metaballs to mesh a MASH network? I'm looking for the flexibility of painting my point locations the I can in MASH so I can customize the metaball shape more easily.

Hi,
currently this is only possible if you paint the point locations and then convert them to particles which you can use with V-Ray Metaball. Unfortunately after the conversion you can't control those particles with Mash anymore so you will need to convert the points from MASH again after some changes are made. I'll bring this to the attention of our developers and research if we can make the rendering of V-Ray Metaballs directly with MASH Points instead of particles. I'll update the thread as soon as I have more info.
