# Render node

The Render node generates images from a 3D signed distance function inputs.

## Inputs

The Render node accepts an input in 3D signed distance function format.

## Outputs

The Render node generates two images from its input:

- a height map of the rendered input along the Z axis

- a normal map of the rendered input calculated directly using the 3D signed function (and consequently more accurate than a normal map generated from the height map)

## Parameters

The Render node does no accept any parameter.
