my graduation project use metaball, i make surface by create point (divide curve x,y,z axis)  and the mesh result was not good.I think your way to create mesh surface so great. so, could you share this definition? my email: dongvietngocbao@gmail.com. thanks !

Jacek - It's certainly faster than my attempt at MC. It still takes a bit of tweaking to get decent particle spacing, but I think potentially this could be pretty fast.

I can't take credit for coming up with the idea of this approach - the first place I think I saw it was this paper by Heckbert and Witkin:

Very nice!

Brilliant! (as usual)
It's much faster than MC, right?
