From Polar

Converts spherical coordinates (radius, angle, and elevation) to Cartesian X/Y/Z. Feed a Phasor into Phase for continuous rotation, or combine with an Oscillator on Radius for spirograph-style motion. Add elevation for 3D spherical patterns.

Ideas

• Phasor into Phase + constant Radius = steady circular motion. Wire X, Y, and Z into a Parametric Curve.
• Phasor into Phase + Oscillator into Radius = spirograph patterns. The radius oscillates while the angle sweeps, tracing petal-like loops.
• Phasor into Phase + Phasor into Elevation = spherical Lissajous. Two different speeds create patterns that wrap around a sphere. Project through CameraProjection for 3D output.
• Use as a rotation helper: feed any angle signal into Phase to rotate a position by that amount.

Tips

• Phase and Elevation are in turns (0–1), not radians or degrees. One full cycle of a Phasor produces one full rotation.
• At the default Elevation of 0.25, the node behaves as a 2D polar converter (Z = 0). Only connect Elevation when you need 3D output.
• Negative radius values flip the output to the opposite side of the sphere.
