Random Point In Square

*

Point

The Random Point In Square node returns a random float2 value of a point within the bounds of a unit square centered at [0; 0].

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.

Outputs

* (float2)

A random point within the unit square centered at [0; 0].
