Example
To demonstrate a basic tunnel effect that can be achieved with this node:
1 Add a Text+ node with some text, and then animate it to move along a path from the
top of the frame to the bottom.
2 Connect the output of the Text+ node to a Coordinate Space node.
3 Select Polar to Rectangular from the Shape menu.
As the text moves from top to bottom along the original path, it appears to move from
an infinite distance in the Coordinate Space node. It may be necessary to flip the text
using a Transform node to make it appear the correct way in the Coordinate Space
node. Another common use for the Coordinate Space node is to use it in pairs: two of
them set to different Shape settings with a Drip or Transform node in between. When
used in this way, the effect gets modified while the image remains the same.
