Hi,
is there a macro to place points realy uniformly (in almost distances from 
each point to it's neighbours)?

VRand_On_Sphere() places each point correclty, but it doesnt care about 
other points, so when used in loop - the resulting _group_ of points isnt 
so uniformly placed.

This problem is simmilar to finding good points/vectors to be used in 
radiosity directions AFAIK (but it's about full sphere, not half of it).
