Changing the node sockets shape
By default, shader nodes in Blender have all input and output sockets in the shape of a circle. However, if necessary, the shape of the socket can be changed.
Accessing custom vertex properties created using bmesh
In Blender when assigning custom properties to vertices using the bmesh layer system, this data can then be accessed directly from the object, through its attributes.

Baking planet texture to equirectangular projection
Blender provides a great possibility for creating procedural textures and materials. In particular, in Blender, we can create interesting procedural textures for planets. However, Blender’s node system is not compatible with third-party renders and game engines, and procedurally generated textures need to be baked into an image.
