# Vector User Data

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Vector User Data node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It reads vector attributes per object or point — positions, velocities or custom data — for use in shading calculations.

Attribute vector 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.
