The animations are so fluid!

I very recently was looking to generate some complex shapes, and stumbled onto the complex problem of "disperse N points on sphere" and all its nuances.

There was a really cool / simple algorithm that was mentioned called the fibonacci-sphere that also generates a spiral around a sphere, but for the point dispersal. Here's a paper [1] on it that talks more about it.
