Hey there, i want to arrange some triangular shapes on a spheric shape, with the tips pointing to the center of the sphere. I thought it would work with a Hair particle system, but i can’t figure out how.
All i could come up with is shown in the picture…
could anyone help me, i also drew up how i would want my final result to look like 
regards, dayvan_cowboy
Blenderguru.com has a great tutorial on using the “particle instance modifer” and Blendercookie.com has a great tutorial on using the “track to” modifier. Between those two short tutorials, you should be able to achieve your objective.
You could always give Duplivert a try.
It duplicates the child object across the surface of the parent object placing copies of the child at each vertex.
