# Compose Vector3D

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Compose Vector3D node** of the classic node materials in **Cinema 4D**. It combines three values into the most versatile vector type — colors, positions, directions or UVW coordinates from calculated components.

By combining three different noise nodes to a vector, simple random colors can be generated

Vectors that are made up of the three components X, Y and Z are the most commonly used vector type because they can, for example, be used to produce colors, positions, directions, UVW coordinates or rotational angles.
