    I need to create a series of stalagmites like icicles and i can’t seem to get it. I tried a series of spheres in a metaball, but the edges are too hard.

    I almost want something that would look like a bunch of different sized balls in a stocking, so there would be round smooth bulges pushing out.

    If you have cloth you could take a series of spheres and put a cylinder around it. Make the cylinder the cloth sphere collider. Then in Cloth tag make the size % smaller and smaller until it fits nicely.

    Or you could box model it and use a hyper nurbs…then get a good displacment texture to get the details right…i think that would be needed for the cloth way too.
