Hi Arvydai,

The sphere distribution is given by (X,Y,Z,..) / sqrt(X*X + Y*Y + Z*Z + ...) where each X Y Z is a gaussian distribution with width=1 and center=0

To get the elliptical distribution, I believe that you need to adjust the width of the gaussian distribution. So, if the ellipse major axis lengths are A,B,C... then generate X,Y,Z with widths A,B,C...

If I have spherically distributed points, am I allowed to squish it along the axis by given factors to get the elliptical distribution? Intuitively it seems it would skew density -- at the pointy ends of ellipsis it would be more dense compared to the flatty ends. Am I correct?
