Hello again,

I'm trying to create a scene a whole bunch of spheres on a plane in a tight,
but somewhat random formation (the spheres, with radius of 1, cannot
intersect each other). Each sphere is textured and also needs to be rotated
to a random position around the y axis. (perhaps even within a specific
range, i.e. between -30 to +30 degrees).

Since I'm still somewhat new, I don't really know how to automate this
process. I know I can define the sphere as a function and plug in values
for each one, but is there a way to automate this?

Thanks.
