Hi Justin ! Have you tried to randomize spherical instead of cartesian coordinates? In this system a point on a sphere (or a direction vector) is described by two angles and a radius. The angeles are called theta and phi, one meaning the angle in the xy-plane (0..2pi) and the other one denoting the angle out of the plane into the z dimension (-pi/2..pi/2). There seems to be confusion about which letter denotes which angle. Read more at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SphericalCoordinates.html. There you can also find the formulas to convert a direction vector in these coordinates to the one you need (cartesion x,y,z...). Please let me know if that yields a better distribution...it would be of interest to me
