Hello! I am trying to create Dandylions using a Phyllotactic pattern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis). [en.wikipedia.org] I was able to get a 2d representation of this pattern in Houdini but I cannot think of a way to apply this to a sphere (see attached Screen Grab). I am essentially trying to do the same thing as this guy: http://www.evsc.net/home/phyllotaxis-sphere. [evsc.net]

Any ideas of what I should look at?
