Documentation / scene / CrossProductNode

Class: CrossProductNode

Defined in: libs/scene/src/utility/blueprint/common/math.ts:2514

Calculates the cross product of two 3D vectors

Remarks

Returns a vector perpendicular to both input vectors. Both inputs must be vec3. Always returns vec3.

The magnitude of the result equals the area of the parallelogram formed by the two input vectors.

Used for:

• Calculating surface normals from tangent vectors
• Finding perpendicular directions
• Computing oriented areas
