# From Barycentric

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **From Barycentric node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It converts barycentric coordinates back into a position within a triangle — the inverse of To Barycentric, used for surface-relative placement.

A position within a triangle can be described by a barycentric vector. If like to calculate such a barycentric vector from a position instead of retrieving a position from a barycentric coordinate, use the “To Barycentric” Node instead.
