I want to model a ball covered in lights.  A large sphere with smaller spheres placed at the large sphere vertexes will be fine. 

Is there any method or script that can copy an object multiple times to create a ring of objects?  Or other ways to create the sphere covered in small spheres?  I want to make many, so doing it manually might take a while.

Thanks

Alec,
In the scripts section, there are two scripts that might be applicable: mesh2mesh and mesh2path.  mesh2mesh copies an mesh to the vertices of another mesh while mesh2path copies a mesh along a path.  Search the posts as there are decent writeups on each in scripting section.

Thanks NickE, just what I needed

You are welcome!  Looking forward to seeing what more you do with it!

Wedding anniversary video in production for my daughter - based on Disney's main street electrical parade and starring her dog.  I'm some weeks away from the first draft.

I'm using the mesh2mesh for "thousands of sparkling lights".
