Is this possible with shades?

[PhallicSpleen]

Is it possible to have a shader that starts to blur/blender/merge shapes together? Or in maybe, more "shader" terms, have each pixel check to see if it's surrounded and fill in. This image is the effect I am going for

also, of more immediate importance, why can't I upload images?

It looks like you want something like Metaballs (not meatballs!)

Here's a forum link on it : Metaballs

Uses blendmodes though

Not GMS shader though and needs convertion

Thank you! Not sure which option I will use in the end, but now I know where to go.

Anything is possible with a good pair of shades! *Ba-dum tiss*

(Sorry. I know it's not helpful, but I just couldn't resist.)
