Plugin Help: Lit Sphere 3D

BLACKMAGIC FUSION PLUGINS  //  LIT SPHERE 3D

Controls:

  • .Reflect: Blends between reflection vectors (0) and eye normals (1). Default 1.0.
  • .Scale: Scales the input lit sphere to compensate for excessive padding. Default 1.0.
  • .Roll: Applies a roll in degrees around the view vector to allow reorientation of the shading. Default 0.0.
  • .MaterialID: Sets the material ID for this shader. Default 1.

3LS_Controls

Inputs:

  • .LitSphereMtl: The lit sphere used for shading. Required. Can be image, mask, or material.
  • .BumpmapMtl: Optional normals input. Must be a bumpmap material.

Notes:

  • When using SW renderer, set the texture filtering for the lit sphere input to bilinear. SAT filtering may cause discrepancies from the GL preview.
  • Precision/sampling issues may arise when .Reflect < 1.0 as reflection vectors can be very high frequency at glancing angles. Supersampling can mitigate this.
  • Output alpha comes from .LitSphereMtl to allow for transparent effects.
