Random 3D Coordinate Generator
Generates a random three-dimensional coordinate point (x, y, z), each axis independently drawn from -100 to 100.

How this generator works
Three values are drawn independently within the bounds you set, giving a point uniformly distributed inside the box those bounds describe. Uniform in a box is worth stating plainly because it is not uniform in a sphere: points drawn this way and then normalised onto a sphere's surface bunch towards its corners' directions, which is a well-known way to get a biased set of directions.
Limitations and good to know
- Uniform within the bounding box, so the corners are as well represented as the middle. That is right for a volume and wrong for a direction.
- No coordinate system or handedness is implied — whether y or z is up is a convention of whatever you paste this into.
- The three axes are drawn independently, so nothing here produces points on a surface, along a path, or at any fixed distance from the origin.
