Clone hierarchy manipulation question? [solved]

[demis]

What king of hierarchy should I use to get a Honeycomb Array of clones but also distributed on the surface of an object ?

I want them distributed on a sphere so it’s a different approach from this thread:

[SOLVED]Surface Deformer seems to not work on Matrix objects

I want to make several clones follow the surface of an object with the right rotation as the surfaces’ normal direction. I know I can do this very easy with the “Polygon Center” distribution but I want to retain the Honeycomb arrangement of my cloners. So I made a Matrix object and set my Cloner to Object mode with it but the cloners act unexpectedly when the Surface Deformer takes action. What am I doing wrong ?

I managed to solve this by making a Matrix and apply a Spherify effector to it. That made my clones wrap arround my sphere with no geometry distortion.

I’ll leave the thread be in case someone else has a similar problem.
