Vector Polar Input¶
destination after Beta: Vector
Functionality¶
This node generates a vector from it’s cylindrical or spherical coordinates. Angles can be measured in radians or in degrees.
Inputs & Parameters¶
All parameters except for Coordinates
and Angles mode
can be specified using corresponding inputs.
Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Coordinates | Cylindrical or Spherical | Cylindrical | Which coordinates system to use. |
Angles mode | Radians or Degrees | Radians | Interpret input angles as specified in radians or degrees. |
rho | Float | 0.0 | Rho coordinate. |
phi | Float | 0.0 | Phi coordinate. |
z | Float | 0.0 | Z coordinate. This input is used only for cylindrical coordinates. |
theta | Float | 0.0 | Theta coordinate. This input is used only for spherical coordinates. |
Outputs¶
This node has one output: Vectors. Inputs and outputs are vectorized, so if you pass series of values to one of inputs, you will get series of vectors.
Examples of usage¶
An archimedian spiral:
Logariphmic spiral:
Helix:
With spherical coordinates, you can easily generate complex forms:
