Presented are embodiments for the generation of point clouds on a surface. A surface is described by a mathematical function. The surface may be subdivided into a plurality of patches, a plurality of triangles, or a plurality of rectangles, inter alia. A plurality of points are calculated and distributed among the patches, triangles, or rectangles comprising the surface. Generation of such point clouds may be useful in rendering N-dimensional surfaces for display or output on computer display or output devices.
