Total n00b here, so not sure I'm even asking the question correctly. I'm looking for a way to evenly distribute any number of particles around a center point. Something like SphereGeometry where I can say, "here's 7 (or 13 or 37) particles - evenly distribute those on the surface of the sphere for me." Can I do this already with something in the library? Or is there an algorithm for doing this? When I look at the code for IcosahedronGeometry, seems very specific to that case, so maybe what I'm asking for is Hard(TM).
