Access: Nodes > Math > Vector Dot
The Dot Product applies the directional growth of one vector to another vector. The result is how much stronger the original vector has been made with a positive, negative, or zero scalar result. The Vector Dot node calculates and outputs the dot product (a single number) of two input vectors, which are in the format (x, y, z, 1).
Vector Dot Node Inputs
|
A |
The vector input in the form (dot, dot, dot, 1) to be used as vector A in the dot product calculation of A · B = (A * B) + (A * B). |
|
B |
The vector input in the form (dot, dot, dot, 1) to be used as vector B in the dot product calculation of A · B = (A * B) + (A * B). |
Vector Dot Node Properties
