Hi,

I've got a scene file that might help you, I'll post it in 
povray.binaried.scene-files. It just builds a stack of spheres, in fact it 
was done to place breakfast cereal in a bowl, hence the references to 
breakfast and bowl in the file, but it should provide a technique that's 
just as good for putting pebbles in an aquarium.

Basically it positions an object, storing all of the positions away so that 
it can do a very crude form of collision detection. Anyway, take a look and 
feel free to use it if it meets your needs.

Regards,
Chris B.
