Render 3D node: controls, inputs and a free patch

What it does

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

Try it

Plug in geometry, a material, a light, and an HDRI, then send the result straight into Bloom.
