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)
Tau. Its float value is approximately 6.28318.
