Mobius Strip node: controls, inputs and a free patch

What it does

Mobius Strip is a 3D node: it builds, changes or lights geometry that Render 3D turns into a picture. It takes picture in and gives 3D shape out.

Try it

Add Solidify so the one-sided ribbon becomes a solid band you can light properly.
