Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Bruna,

sorry once more to be a pedant, but read [1] again :-) to really help (not
just guess), we need to know what and how you use. makeCloud does not help
much, as it has a lot of parameters, moreover some of them influencing each
other.

I don't know makeCloud very well, but according to documentation: "porosity
(float) – initial guess for the iterative generation procedure (if num>1).
The algorithm will be retrying until the number of generated spheres is
num. The first iteration tries with the provided porosity, but next
iterations increase it if necessary". So one reason could be interaction of
"porosity" and "num" parameter. But it is mere guessing. To let other
users/devs, more experienced with makeCloud, solve your problem, please
write one or a few **full commands** you are using.

cheers
Jan
