Gaussian metaballs use an exponential squared falloff creating smooth, natural-looking blob formations.
Exponential metaballs use a simple exponential falloff function with slightly sharper edges while maintaining smooth blending.
Using the inverse square law (1/r²), these metaballs simulate electric force fields with sharper transitions.
Based on electric potential physics (1/r), these metaballs have the slowest falloff rate with gradual transitions.
