Hi,
I would like to repeat a very small object around the circumfrence of a
sphere.
I was wondering if there is a relatively simple way to do this or would I be
better off trying to create a disc with a pattern and color map to try
rendering the effect I would like (surreal ray objects surrounding a sun
object)? If I am better off with the latter, is there a pattern that would
be best for this purpose. I have tried and can't seem to find one that
works or maybe I need to rotate and scale in a way I can't seem to figure
out (?)
Thanks for any suggestions.

That is actually very simple, using while-loops:
#declare Sphere_Radius=3;
#declare Amount_Of_Objects=10;
#declare Counter=0;
#while (Counter<Amount_Of_Objects)
object{The_Object translate x*Sphere_Radius rotate
y*360/Amount_Of_Objects*Counter}
#declare Counter=Counter+1;
#end
This way, 10 objects (declared as The_Object) would be placed on the y-plane
around the sphere. Note that I haven't taken into consideration the size of
The_Object itself, you might want to increase Sphere_Radius then.

I hate to nitpick, but some clear indentation scheme might make it easier
to read the code...

Yes, but as I am a masochist as well, I do it anyways.
