Overview
What MSpheres does
Start with a single sphere and click its surface to grow linked child spheres. MSpheres fills every link with in-between spheres and skins the whole chain into one watertight mesh, so a creature, a character blockout or a branching prop comes together in minutes.
Spheres stretch non-uniformly, links bend with Bezier handles, and the skeleton can branch and close into loops. Skin it with OpenVDB for smooth organic forms, or procedurally for a clean, quad-dominant mesh.
