Take a look at
http://www.povray.org/links/3D_Programs/POV-Ray_Modelling_Programs/

I've never found a blob editor that was usable enough to be of any real
value, but there are a few new entries in the list which I've never
tried.

But it only exports a mesh representation of the blobs and doesn't support 
cylinder blobs.

So basically another "not a good blob modeller..." why has there never
been a really good one for POV?  Are people uncomfortable with 4th order
polynomials and preview display programming for such? heh heh...

But why bother?  I'm not interesting.

Here's a start. You'll have to tweak it to fit your object, etc. To
speed up don't use complex textures on your object, us 160X120 no AA or
less...

#declare Jonathansblob=
    blob{
    threshold...
    sphere.....
    }

object{Jonathansblob}

object {Jonathansblob
    rotate<0,90,0>
    translate 5*x
    }
object{Jonathansblob
    rotate<-90,0,0>
    translate 5*y
    }

#declare nx=0;
#while(nx<10)
 #declare ny=0;
 #while(ny<10)
  sphere{<(nx-5)*1,(ny-5)*1,0>,0.05 pigment{Red}finish{ambient 1}}
#declare ny=ny+1;
#end
#declare nx=nx+1;
#end
