Circle packing of curved surfaces=basketball example

Here a couple of relevant previous discussions

Is there an easy way to create uniform point distributions on a sphere, such as the endpoints of an icosohedron, but more points?

Here’s an example of using electrostatic type repulsion to distribute a large number of points (shown here with 10,000). This approach can be useful if you require a specific number of points, since with the subdivision method you are limited to the jumps in vertex count between levels of subdivision. repulsion_distribute_sphere.gh (14.3 KB)
