Create and manipulate Metaballs (part 2)

Next, you'll make the dragonfly's head using two Metaballs of different sizes.

  1. Delete the ground plane to get it out of the way.
  2. Click the Metaball tool to create a Metaball.
  3. Drag the Metaball to position it on the left side of the body so that it is close to, but not touching the others.
    Click here to see where to position the Metaball.
  4. Click the Metaball tool to create a second Metaball.
  5. Click the Edit attributes button.
  6. In the Object attributes dialog box change the X, Y, and Z size settings to 15, 15, 15.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Position this Metaball on the left so it is touching the first large Metaball. These two Metaballs form the head.
