Distributing Points on the Sphere

WOW ! I’ve been trying to do that for while now.
congratulations(for your work) and thanks for the link :)

[...] It happened quite often at work that I’ve been asked to ditribute a given number of objects on a sphere. When I had to do so, I usually performed a good ol’hack like counting the vertices of a sphere, then creating some temporary triangles every N face, reorient them to finally collect their centers to pin an object there… tiring. so I was extremely glad yesterday morning when I found this : nodename [...]

[...] Shaw discovered a method that allows you to compute an arbitrary number of points and distribute them over a sphere, the only problem with that is it is emerging ; you’ll have to run the algo for some time [...]

Amen to what nocoptere said – I’ve been attempting this with no luck! Can I get a link? I would LOVE to see the source and show you what I have in mind of making =)
