Random Point In Sphere

*

Point

The Random Point In Sphere node returns a random float3 value of a point within the bounds of a unit sphere.

This node is a random node. Random nodes generate a new output every time they are accessed during an impulse chain, even if during the same frame. To reuse the same value for multiple impulse nodes, you must write the value to a Local, Store, or Data Model Store before operating on it.

Outputs

* (float3)

A random point on the unit sphere centered at [0; 0; 0].
