Doc > Nodes > OBJ > PolarTransform
Allows easy position of lights, or any object around another one.
Description
This node transforms its children with latitude and longitude controls, instead of typical translate and rotate. It makes it more intuitive to position objects such as lights.
Note that there is an equivalent node at the SOP level
