# Evaluate Spline

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Evaluate Spline node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It samples positions and tangents anywhere along a spline — the basis for placing objects on curves or driving animation along paths.

This Node can be used to output arbitrary positions along a spline, as well as tangents at the read positions.
