One more simple parallax shader
Shaders with the parallax effect looks very impressive when modeling windows – if the camera moves around the scene, the view from the window also shifts slightly, creating the illusion of a large open space outside the window.

Track To constraint using Geometry Nodes
In order to bind the “face” direction of one object to another object, Blender usually uses the Track To constraint. However, if necessary, we can make the same tracking constraint using Geometry Nodes.

Creating Inputs and Outputs for Node Groups using the Blender Python API
The easiest way to create new inputs and outputs for node groups is to press the plus button in the node group editing mode (tab) on the N-panel on the “Group” section. However, when creating node groups using the Blender Python API, this method is not available.

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.
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.
