Description
Dropping metaballs in a sealed filled with laughing gas, has some very interesting and very useful results.
1. Green ones bounce once, then get tired and collapse.
2. Purple ones liquify
3. Yellows become highly energized and burn themselves up.
4. White, being a combinaton of all colors, divide into their separate hues again.
5. Black ones increase in weight tenfold.
6. Blues become brittle.
7. Red ones become weightless and float.

simple, silly, and stupendous. hooray for the subtle!
Very useful information. Thanks for sharing.
This is more then a simple piece to me...lol Your technique and skill really comes through on this one. Also don't know if you realize it or not but you just came up with a new arrangement to an old Hendrix song:) Love it
What kind of stuff were you smoking when you came up with this image.... :) Very original.
you master give me the secrets of metaballs effects...amazing,,,frogdot...my respect..clear work
this is so clever, original and so very well done..absolutely love it..well done! *V
Brillant!!!!!V
Geniale, Bravo!
This is just amazing - you are so creative! :)
lol, what a cool idea. and fantastic execution. you're so creative.
I didnt know all of those things about meatballs! Interesting! Great image!
The concept alone is worth a vote; the visualization is worth another. Gimme a dozen black and 2 dozen assorted other colors.
You know, funny you would bring this up..why just the other day I thought to myself "How would different colored metaballs react in a room filled with laughing gas?" HAHAHA...Now I know...very clever Dave, and a ton of fun! (=
Cool concept and outcome! Very creative mind at work!
This scientific study rocks. LOL.
You should be working in aerospace Dave! The word genius definitely applies... your brilliance precedes you and follows you wherever you go... 100 votes for concept alone... another 100 for execution!
Thanks for making me laugh - Excellent! ;O)
incredible! (as everything that comes out of your mind) ^_^
