      i have searched for a tutorial or a plugin for a long time and i don't find anything. I would need to create a spheric and symmetrical bunch of identical particles... how people make explosions, carnations, fireworks...?? thank you very much.

        There's a plugin which places a component on each face--I think. I don't do that sort of thing but I've seen something like that, and the component might be random spikes normal the center of each face of a sphere...?
