Example 1: Sample a point from the surface of the sphere that is split by a plane with displacement of 0.5 above center and a normal of [1, 0, 0].

}

Configuration:

Parameter	Description	Type
center	Location of the center of the sphere.	mathutils.Vector
radius	The radius of the sphere. dius of the sphere. Type: float	float
mode	Mode of sampling. Determines the geometrical structure used for sampling. Available: SURFACE (sampling from the 2-sphere), INTERIOR (sampling from the 3-ball).	string
distance_above_center	The distance above the center, which should be used. Default: 0.0 (half of the sphere).	float
part_sphere_vector	The direction in which the sphere should be split, the end point of the vector, will be in the middle of the sphere pointing towards the middle of the resulting surface. Default: [0, 0, 1].	mathutils.Vector

run()

Returns:A random point lying inside or on the surface of a solid sphere. Type: mathutils.Vector
