Outputs the inverse of the input. For example, an input of 5 produces an output of 0.2 (1/5). Choose the Node's data type in the **Attribute Manager**.

> **Tip:** Note:\
> You can use this Node to invert numbers or matrices. For example, you can combine this Node with a MatrixMulVector Node to convert a position from world coordinates to local coordinates. In the **Attribute Manager**, choose whether a real number or a matrix should be inverted.
