3D node
Star 3D
A 3D star extruded into a solid. Depth sets how thick it is, and inner ratio sets how deep the points cut in. It carries the 3D suffix because the 2D Shape node already has its own Star.
What it does
Star 3D 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
Instance a few hundred with random spin for a shower of stars.
