it seems to me as if the particles are placed evenly (homogenious?) in the
sphere. you're probably using the VRand_In_Sphere macro in rand.inc.
in any case i would recommend to raise the vectors to the power of two or
even a larger number. as the vectors in a sphere (with radius 1) are
shorter than one they get sort of blackhole warped towards the center. this
should look more like what you want it to look. higher exponents strengthen
the effect.

just my 2 cents
