    I propose we universally change the name of this effect to meatball – makes way more sense than metaball anyways. ;)

    Funny @dom I've always referred to it as "meatball" :) It wasn't until your comment I that I looked more closely :) Meatball makes sense.. what the heck is a "metaball"? Can you be dyslexic regarding just one single word?
