Tangent node

Access: Nodes > Math > Tangent

Returns the tangent of the input angle. Note that tangent grows very large near ±π/2 — outputs will exceed the displayable 0–1 range in those regions. Useful for creating sharp center-pinch distortions and stylized warp waves (like a shock wave or glass refraction).

Input (RGB) Output (RGB
0.0, 0.0, 0.0 1.0, 1.0, 1.0
1.0, 1.0, 1.0 154308, 1.54308, 1.54308
-2.0, -2.0, -2.0 3.7622, 3.7622, 3.7622

Tangent node inputs

Input

The angle in radians whose tangent is to be calculated.

Tangent node outputs

Output

Returns the tangent ratio of the input angle. Note that the tangent grows very large near ±π/2 - outputs will exceed the displayable 0–1 range in those regions.
