# Vector Sub

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Vector Sub node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It subtracts two vectors component-wise — the standard way to build direction vectors between two positions.

Calculates a subtraction of the two input vectors. Returns *Input 1* - *Input 2*.
