Now I just have to figure out how to make these
blobs centres distribute evenly within this
surface (or any surface in 3D) ...

Sounds extremely hard. Have fun...

Antiblobs? What are these? Are they MeagPov only objects?

spaced (u,v) coordinates will map to evenly spaced points along the surface. I
have been playing with bicubic patches lately, so if you have any questions,
don't hesitate to ask, because it's all fresh in my mind :-)
other surfaces...

I think that antiblobs in this case is used to describe a combination of
a blob with a positive strength interacting with one or more blobs with
negative strength. And as such, they will work in official POV.
Of course I could be misinterpreting.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

I hope not !
I have an idea of simulating some kind of forces between
the blob centres (that are close enough to each other),
and then let many iterations move them in small steps at
the time (within the surface) until all the forces on each
blob sums to a force that is normal to the surface (where
the blob's centre is).

I will (if I can find time for it ...)

Antiblobs is just the name I use for some blobs created by
a macro I made in standard POV.
Each of these blobs contains one component with positive strength
and several others components with negative strengths.
The negative strength components are placed and adjusted by my
macro so that blobs that is close-enough neighbours, only touches
their neighbours in only one point.
To two blobs are deemed "close-enough" if the sum of their two
radii are greater than the distance between their centres.
Also see my answer to ddombrow in my thread "72 Antiblobs"

Hmm... interesting...
spaced within the surface ?
I.e.:
The distance between each pair of neighbours, measured when "walking"
upon the surface, is equal to the distance between all other pairs ?
(I haven't even quite convinced myself that this is possible.)
Please explain.

Oh, that's right... every problem has a complicated (and possibly
complex) calculus solution and a 10-hour-parse solution. And then some
have a complicated vector math solution that takes ten hours to parse.
