Hi again,

Today I figured out how to populate an arbitrary triangular region in 
space with a definable density of spheres. This allowed me to create the 
image here. It's basically a geodesic sphere, but with the spherical 
component exaggerated for each sphere patch.

Questions and comments are always welcome~

Sam

A small alien seed... very beautiful!
my guess is that the code is beautifully simple too. Am I right?

OGM underwater corn?
Very nice, indeed!

Wow!  Marvelous. I'd definitely like to know how you did that. *Looks* to be
oh-so-complicated, code-wise.

Parts of the code are simple, but my implementation is probably rather 
messy.

I thought it resembled corn somewhat, too. Thanks for the reply~

Well, it could be less complicated, but I'm not always great at 
optimizing code. Maybe I'll release some version of it, but I don't feel 
up to it at the moment.

Not bad - it looks even somehow atmospherical.
