Nodes > Inputs > Vertex > Surface Tangent
Returns the tangent direction vector of the surface.
In VFX Editor, this node will get the most recent value sent to a Particle (Set Vertex Tangent) node in the Output Container. If no Set Vertex Tangent node is present, this returns the surface tangent transformed by the particle's matrix attribute with respect to the space selected (local or world).
