If you're placing the objects in a way similar to this:

#declare r = rand(myseed)*maxradius;
#declare angle = rand(myseed)*360;
translate vrotate(x*r,angle*y);

then you'll have to change the "r" statement to this in order to remove the
concentration:

#declare r = rand(myseed)^.5*maxradius;

And that should spread it out evenly.
