I found the coolest damn thing in Blender: metaballs!

They're so much fun to play with! They "attract" each others vertices, based on how far away they are from one another - give it a try!

Here's a "wax blob" possibly.

very nice

- meta balls are very interesting, indeed^^
if that's wax, you should make it less transparent

- looks great

Thanks for that - I'm totally stopping by 7/11 on the way home and grabbing an Orange Squishee.

I know! No tutorial I ever used when I began Blender oh so long ago even MENTIONED them - i assumed it was "baggage" left over from whatever. I never even went exploring.
