Blobs can be modelled entirely in povray, see:

This is why I bristle at the concept that "POV-Ray is a raytracer, not a
modeller."  It both ignores the amazing things that one can do entirely in pov:
(blobs, isosurfaces, amazing animations using trace functions), and reduces this
wonderful art form to exhaustive (ad nauseum) texturing & lighting improvements
on models bought or given away by some cheezy corporation.
