Solid Sphere

Overview

Creates the sphere 3D primitive. It is a basic solid—the starting point in workflows that convert 3D forms to pixel art—and suits organic forms such as fruit, heads, and rounded rocks.

• Coordinate system: z-up (x right, y back, z up). Sizes are in units and are converted to pixels by pixels_per_unit during rendering.

Usage tips

• It is not visible on its own. Connect it to solid_render to turn it into pixel art.
• Smoothly blending spheres with solid_combine quickly creates organic forms such as clouds, slimes, and tree canopies.
• It also works well as the carving shape for solid_subtract, creating rounded dents and chips.
• At 16px/unit, the default radius of 0.5 produces a diameter of 16 pixels. Work backward from the desired final size.

Examples

Use it as a carving die or blend spheres smoothly to build organic shapes.
