It extends the Linear node with positions off the straight path and extra rotations — rows that follow curved courses. This Node is an enhancement of the Linear Node. Additional settings can be used to define positions that do not necessarily lie on a straight. Additional rotation settings can be used to position matrices on curved paths. ![Image: 044866.jpg](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/044866.jpg)\ For a linear transformation, successive modifications can be added to the linear placement and these modifications to the matrices can be increasingly strengthened towards the end of the distribution.
