I am trying to move a point for now randomly over the surface of a sphere. currently i am trying to do this by generating random spherical coordinates and then converting these to 3d locations with the function .setFromSphericalCoords()

This is what the code looks like that generates a new random spherical coordinate each frame: 

element.kralenSpherical.phi += Math.random() * 2 -1;
if(element.kralenSpherical.phi <= 0 ) element.kralenSpherical.phi = 0;
else if(element.kralenSpherical.phi >= 180 ) element.kralenSpherical.phi = 180;
element.kralenSpherical.theta += Math.random() * 2 -1;
if(element.kralenSpherical.theta >= 360 ) element.kralenSpherical.theta = 0;
else if(element.kralenSpherical.theta <= 0) element.kralenSpherical.theta = 360;

element.kraal.position.copy(element.BaseLocation.clone().add(sphericalVector.setFromSphericalCoords(element.kralenSpherical.radius, element.kralenSpherical.phi, element.kralenSpherical.theta)));

this kinda works but currently my sphere point is not really moving over the sphere but rather jumping huge distances.

I think this has to do with what values i am supplying as phi and theta, but the problem is that i have no clue what the value range of phi and theta is.

If something is not clear let me know so i can clarify!

不是three.js，但这应该很容易翻译。众所周知，这是处理：



void setup() {
  size(300, 300, P3D);  
  frameRate(300);
  background(0);
}

void draw() {

  lights();
  translate(width/2, height/2);
  stroke(255,255,0);
  noFill();
  //sphere(75);

  PVector v = noise_spherical_point(frameCount * 0.009, 75);

  translate(v.x, v.y, v.z);
  fill(255,0,0);
  noStroke();
  sphere(1);

}


PVector noise_spherical_point(float t, float rad) {
  float x = noise(t) * 2 -1;
  float y = noise(0, t)  * 2 -1;
  float z = noise(0, 0, t) * 2 -1;
  PVector v = new PVector(x, y, z);
  v = v.normalize();
  v.mult(rad);
  return v;
}

这是因为phi和theta是弧度，而不是度数。

所以Math.random() * 2 -1对于弧度来说太大了。

并且根据当前的实施，这些参数似乎没有范围限制。
