I'm curious if there is any way in VTK to do a create a MetaBall-type dataset. Example of metaballs can be found here: <a href="http://www.corelmag.com/1103/overview/Metaball_Modeling.html">http://www.corelmag.com/1103/overview/Metaball_Modeling.html
</a><br><br>Basically I want to be able to define points in 3d-space along with a Radius for each, and then have a vtkPolyData (or something like it) created from the results of the Metaball surface. Is there any way to do this in VTK? I can get a rough approximation by using a vtkGlyph3d and mapping a vtkSphereSource at each point, but that leaves intersecting geometry without the smooth features that come from a Metaballs type algorithm.
