> This page describes the **Tangent node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It returns the tangent of its input in radians or degrees — completing the trigonometric set for procedural shader math.

Returns the tangent of *Input*. When *Radians* is selected, the input will be assumed to be in radians, otherwise degrees.
