star

set 0× in templates and rigs

A miniature sun that reads as a star in one frame: a boiling photosphere with dark spots and deep limb darkening, a ragged spicule rim, a faint streamered corona, and bundles of fine plasma strands arching off the limb that brighten and drain.

coronanumberGain on the rim and corona; 0 is a bare ball (default 1).0×

fadenumberSeconds it cools and dims over (default 1).0×

flaresnumberHow many loops of plasma strands, 0..16 (default 6).0×

glownumberEmissive gain (default 1).0×

granulationnumberConvection cells per radius (default 11).0×

granulation-speednumberHow fast they boil (default 1).0×

holdnumberSeconds it burns (default 3600, the rest of the scene).0×

lighttrue / false`true` adds a point light at its centre; it is emissive only otherwise.0×

opacitynumberOverall opacity (default 1); also multiplied by node opacity keyframes.0×

position"x y z"0×

radiusnumberOf the photosphere, mm (default 200). The corona reaches 2.6 radii and is hidden where it passes through a floor.0×

seednumberRolls different spots, regions and loops (default 0).0×

spinnumberRadians per second it turns about its y (default 0.12).0×

spotsnumberDepth of the dark spots, 0..1 (default 0.85).0×

startnumberAny clock attribute turns the clock on; this is when it ignites, seconds. Without one it simply burns.0×

travelnumberSeconds of the ignition: a seed of light swells past its size and settles (default 0.9).0×
