Negative radius will make the sphere render inwards rather than outwards.</arg> <arg name="longitudeSteps" type="number">The number of longitude steps. This controls the quality of the sphere. Higher quality will lower performance significantly. 50 is a good number to start with.</arg> <arg name="latitudeSteps" type="number">The number of latitude steps.
