Well, you should try Micheles's, at least the demo. Its true metaballs,
there are some things that I liked. I'm not a polygonizer pro, but I think
there are some simple things that are better on MetaballsV3 for simple
metaballs, haven't tried it on particles or creating huge meshes, although
the smooth result seamed more stable. When you create a metaball the mesh
created is the exact size of the control null and you can scale it in
different axes for example to deform your metaball. In polygonizer the only
way I have found to create a metaball is creating a null and polygonize it,
if you scale the null in just one axes nothing happens, and the null is
always a different size from the mesh. This is important if you are
animating, at least for me it is.
And metapaint is great! It simulates a liquid type of motion on the
metaballs.
I hope Michele continues to update it, its up to us.

Ah! Great! I remember that commercial, It's Portuguese, I remember at that time we were all talking about it, always thought it was done in Portugal by a company called Ingreme.
It worked really well, would definitely recommend..
