Object Population in sky: Distribution?

[Superza]

Hi all, i was thinking to create an hundreds of objects in the sky.. i was wondering if it could be possible distribuite this objects along the three dimensions of the sky in some way.
The goal is to create something like an airplanes battle or a birds formations,

I approached this by creating a very spikey terrain but only using that terrain to feed into the object not the planet.

Great Idea! if i understand well you create a terrain  with  a certain form, detach from the rest of object and used it as distribution shader of the obj population... i will try,
Thank you very much!
Best regards

First I used birds, then I moved on to snowflakes, it works very well.

Hope it is some help to you, Superza!
