AppleseedShaderBall

Generates scenes suitable for rendering shader balls with Appleseed.

user

Container for user-defined plugs. Nodes should never make their own plugs here, so users are free to do as they wish.

out

The output scene.

enabled

The on/off state of the node. When it is off, the node outputs an empty scene.

shader

The shader to be rendered.

resolution

The resolution of the shader ball image, which is always a square.

environment

An environment map used for lighting. Should be in latlong format.

maxSamples

The maximum number of samples used by appleseed to render the shader ball. A value of 0 disables the limit.

threads

The number of threads used by appleseed to render the shader ball. A value of 0 uses all cores, and negative values reserve cores for other uses - to be used by the rest of the UI for instance.
