I think, you have several ways to do this.. if you need a lot of dividing you can you particles and choos Particle Type - blobby. If you need only several division, maybe it would be easier to do this by making spheres, connect them using Fillet (circular or freeform) and animate by hand.

You could try the metaball plugin - should be on highend3d.com somewhere - that'll let you create metaballs in maya - get some nice results :)

cheers the metabll plugin is great but i still have one problem, can i apply dynamics to the metaballs? for example i would love to make them softbodies and have particle effects etc.
