Metaball problem (bug?)

Heyy,

I have a problem with the metaballs, i dont know why but my metaball isocrvs are getting straight crvs, and not smooth crvs as it should be.

Thanks!

The metaball component returns polylines that are as smooth as the sampling accuracy (check the A input). If you want splines, you should play with the accuracy until you get a satisfactory resolution and then interpolate curves through your polylines's vertices.

In addition to the answer, it's entirely possible that NURBS curves cannot exactly represent the isocurves. So it'll be an interpolation no matter whether you use polylines or nurbs curves, even in an ideal world.
