If you have two spheres, and add a third touching the other two, you

with balls, simply by translating and rotating. 
If you want to stack the balls, add a fourth to the first tree, just
touching. Again, this ball is merely translated and rotated. It
shouldn't be that hard to figure out. Obviously some bright minds (like
K. Tyler) have already figured it out, even with spheres of different
sizes.
