I have never had problems with dumbbells 
slipping out of my hands !  =)

I'm only using some macros (in plain POV)
to make a 3D-map of the accumulated "field 
strengths" of the different components in 
the blob. 

Other macros then use this 3D-map to 
select points in space with the "right" 
"field strength".

These points can again be used for new 
components in a blob or for placing other
objects.

No not yet. 

I don't have much experience with blob
modelling. And I have to many other 
projects to take care of, so I haven't
got enough time to experiment much 
with these macros.
(But I have ideas of some shapes :-)

At this moment my macros can handle 
any blobs made of sphere components. 
They can have different radius and 
strength, but they cannot be scaled.

(Maybe some day I'll improve them so 
that they can  take scaled spheres and 
cylinders too.)
