basketball bumps
Simple description of what I'm trying to do would be to pattern the bumps on a basketball - big sphere with a bunch of little spheres embedded around it. One row of spheres is fine using the radial pattern, but then I am defining the start of each row manually. So I'm looking for spherical patterning, but to compound the problem, it's not really a sphere, it's the outward facing face of a torus (the area you'd likely grab when you pick up a doughnut). To compound the problem even more, I turned a spline to create the toroid, rather than turning a circle.
Any ideas?
