Sphere (Surface)¶
Functionality¶
This node generates a spherical Surface object. Several parametrizations are available:
Default - corresponding to spherical coordinates formula
Equirectangular
Lambert
Gall Stereographic
NURBS Sphere
For formulas, please refer to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections
Inputs¶
This node has the following inputs:
Center. The center of the sphere. The default value is (0, 0, 0) (origin).
Radius. Sphere radius. The default value is 1.0.
Theta1. Theta1 parameter of the Equirectangular projection. This input is only available when the Projection parameter is set to Equirectangular. The default value is pi/4.
Parameters¶
This node has the following parameter:
Projection. This defines the parametrization to be used.
Outputs¶
This node has the following output:
Surface. The generated spherical surface.
Example of usage¶
