I'm clueless about the PCM and mesh stuff, but can't you just enclose the
sphere in a 'blob' statement and add the 'strength' float into the 'sphere'
statement?  If the "sphere' you mention is in actuality a mesh of triangles
or something and you are wanting a "blob" type of shape instead I have no
idea. I'm thinking of individual parts made up of spheres or blobs, in which
case I don't see why it couldn't be done.
