Metaballs to mesh/polysurface

Halo!

I am trying to somehow convert metaball(t) isocurves to some kind of mesh/poly surface which I can use later on my project. 

I have searched and tryed everywhere and everything I can, but without any success.

The best "solution" so far was extracting points from the metaballs and using MeshFromPoints in Rhino, but it gives totally unsatisfying results whatsoever.

PLEASE someone help!

Millipede should work too:

In addition millipede implements a few basic geometric features [extraction of iso surface meshes from volumetric scalar fields or and extraction of curved contours over any mesh]
