Constants

The Tau node outputs the mathematical constant tau. Tau is a constant that represents 2PI. Tau is the circumference of a circle with a radius of one.

Applications this constant can be used in:

  • Circumference, angular, and rotation measurements
  • Wave Generation (combined with Sin)
  • Shader Programming (usually simplifying/streamlining the code)

Outputs

* (float)

Returns the value constant Tau. Its float value is approximately 6.28318.
