Math TOP Combine Channel --> Length

This is a fairly basic question that may have been answered in another thread.

How exactly is ‘Length’ calculated per pixel using the Math TOP combine channels function?

The length of a 3d vector is calculated like this:

magnitude-of-a-vector-formula-1623757125

Another way of looking at it is measuring the distance between point 0,0,0 and some other point in space :slight_smile:

So basically a distance formula bin that regard.

makes sense! thank you :slight_smile:
