Vogel's model of the Fermat spiral is very useful:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat%27s_spiral
One of its greatest advantages is that you can choose an arbitrary number of
points.
There's also a version that covers a sphere. I'm still wondering how to /fill/ a
sphere using similar math, but I've failed at every attempt thus far and haven't
yet seen anyone anywhere manage to do it (yes, that's a challenge to everyone
because I'd really like to see it!).
