Those packages most likely use a mesh, and probably don't use a plain 
meta-ball type of blob.

Meshes (and similar surfaces) are much more flexible, there are things 
that blobs just can't do. For example, two fingers of a hand pinching 
together: easy with a mesh (assuming a good modeller or physics engine), 
impossible with a blob (the fingers will blob together).
