# Scalar User Data

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Scalar User Data node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It reads float attributes per object or point into the shader — letting weights, ages or custom values control material properties.

Attribute scalar data can be stored per object or per point on a point cloud. This shader node gives you access to that attribute data, facilitating object or point shading variation without requiring different materials.
