Compose Vector4D

What is it about?

This page covers the Compose Vector4D node of the classic node materials in Cinema 4D. It builds four-component vectors — for example RGB plus alpha or data quadruples — from individual values.

Four-dimensional vectors are always good when information needs to be output, e.g., as in this example, alpha values, in addition to that of a 3D vector.

These are vectors that consist of the four components X, Y, Z and W. You can, for example, save three color values plus an alpha value or the index number, including the position of a polygon corner point.
