Meld –formerly known as Metaballs– is a modeling command that enables us to merge two or more objects (spheres or polygon meshes) into a single object with a "liquid" appearance. We shall see how to use it and some interesting properties thereof.

Perpetual Rotation – Lua Script

Another sprocket, another way to make things rotate. Besides keyframing and using the cycle attribute, another good way to make things rotate continuously is using a Lua Script. Among the scripts available with Strata Design 3D is a continuous rotation script, that enables us to make things rotate continually at the same speed in any of the three axes.
