# Vector Length

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Vector Length node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It outputs a vector's magnitude as a scalar — useful for distance-based masks and measuring displacement or velocity data.

Returns the length of the vector *Input*.
