> This page covers the **Log node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It computes the natural logarithm — the inverse of Exp — for compressing large value ranges logarithmically.

This Node calculates the natural logarithm of a value, which in turn is the inverse function of the exponential function ex that is calculated by the Exp Node.
