Random Point On Circle

*

Point

The Random Point On Circle node returns a random float2 value of a point on the edge of a unit circle.

This node is a random node. Random nodes generate a new output every time they are accessed during an impulse chain, even if during the same frame. To reuse the same value for multiple impulse nodes, you must write the value to a Local, Store, or Data Model Store before operating on it.
