Ellipse

Closed ellipse polyline on the XY plane. Like Circle but with independent X and Y radii.

Node

Sockets

center (in)
Vector3. Ellipse centre (default [0, 0, 0]).
radiusX (in)
Float. Horizontal semi-axis (default 10).
radiusY (in)
Float. Vertical semi-axis (default 6).
path (out)
Path — closed polyline on the XY plane at Z = center.z.

Parameters

Segments
Number of polyline segments. Default: 64.

How It Works

Samples the parametric ellipse (rX cos θ, rY sin θ) at segments equally-spaced θ values. Sampling is uniform in parameter, not arc length — if you need evenly spaced points along the ellipse perimeter, follow up with a Divide Curve node.
