# Falloff

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Falloff node** for classic node materials in **Cinema 4D**. It blends the standard Falloff shader with a Fresnel-style effect — producing viewing-angle-dependent color and value gradients.

Gradients can be placed relative to the viewer position on the front or back of an object.

> **Tip:** Note:
>
> This Node is only available when editing a classic Cinema 4D Node material.

The function of this Node is comparable to a mixture of the "Falloff" shader of the standard material system and the "Fresnel" effect.
