metaballs don’t do fast.
/randy -
The help menu has a very clear review of the metaball object.
Yes you can use other objects in the meta but I have not had consistant results when doing so… perhaps some else can help you here.
To be able to “animate away from itself” What kind of shape, a fluid motion ???/Randy

I think you want to fix three sides of the plane (do not enable dresser just click “set”) Then put your rubber setting higher (like 75%)
Or if you want three side to stay and stretch the other fix one side and use a belt tag to a cube that has been key framed already.

If you go into Point Mode do you have a whole lot of extra points? if so while in point mode right click and “optimize” That should be your bounding box but I am not sure I understood what you did…if you can post the file I am willing to take a look….

Have you made the symmetry object editable before using the split function?

If you always get that issue try under render settings, select Multipass and ensure Shadow Correction is checked.

In the wave tab of the material you can key frame the “Amount” by control clicking the little circle to the left of slider. It will turn red when you have a key frame.

A car is a big undertaking I still havent even tried…
Looks really nice. You really captured a lot of detail. Did you model with polys or box modeling?
For objects like these it really helps to see a wire frame.
Then perhaps we can help you find a way to smooth out some of the sharp edges. (I like the iron tool for that sort of stuff.)
It looks like you have some phong issues with mirror.
You may want to look at your paint shader a little more as it does seems pretty flat. For example if you look at the hood in the top pic it should have some reflection and specular. Same with the windows.As for education I know OD1 on c4dcafe has a dvd for making a low rider truck. There also a few free tutorials about hdr lighting there too if I remember right.
Well done…
