Particles often meets at top and bottom of sphere.

@seanwasere does not have that problem

yes, you can see in @seanwasere’s example he implements it differently…

in the original creation of the positions

    for (let i = 0; i < maxParticleCount; i++) {
      const x = Math.random() * r - r / 2
      const y = Math.random() * r - r / 2
      const z = Math.random() * r - r / 2

      particlePositions[i * 3] = x
      particlePositions[i * 3 + 1] = y
      particlePositions[i * 3 + 2] = z

      const v = new Vector3(-1 + Math.random() * 2, -1 + Math.random() * 2, -1 + Math.random() * 2)
      particlesData.push({ velocity: v.normalize().divideScalar(50), numConnections: 0 })
    }

and in the update…

    for (let i = 0; i < particleCount; i++) {
      const particleData = particlesData[i]

      v.set(particlePositions[i * 3], particlePositions[i * 3 + 1], particlePositions[i * 3 + 2])
        .add(particleData.velocity)
        .normalize()
        .multiplyScalar(10)
      particlePositions[i * 3] = v.x
      particlePositions[i * 3 + 1] = v.y
      particlePositions[i * 3 + 2] = v.z

This is what .setLength() does internally. But it’s a matter of taste, how to set vectors :slight_smile:

I took the way, where each point has it’s own random axis, around which it rotates. So you can keep the same vector’s length, or change it with the sine function by time. :thinking:

That’s really handy to know, thank you for the insight into this!

That’s also awesome, do you mean, similar to the dummy.matrix in an instanced mesh? I did try to add radius to gui but I think I encountered the same problem I think you’ve solved, the radius could only get smaller…

I also tried out three-globe in the linked video above so trying to get a sandbox together is trickier, trying to get an r3f demo to share
