Derive Node Reference

Gradient Node

Description

The Gradient node generates a grayscale gradient texture. The output is a texture with it’s pixel values being lerped from 0 to 1 and according to the selected gradient type. The gradient values are the same for every color channel of a pixel.

Enumerator

Choose the desired type of gradient. The following options are available:

 

  • - Linear Asymmetrical: A linear gradient with values increasing from left to right.
  • - Linear Symmetrical: A linear gradient with values increasing from the left and right side to the middle creating a horizontal symmetry.
  • - Linear Square: A linear gradient with values increasing from all sides to the center of the texture.
  • - Smooth Diamond: A linear gradient similar to the linear square, but with smooth edge transition
  • - Sin Asymmetrical: A sine wave based gradient with values increasing from left to right.
  • - Sin Symmetrical: A sine wave based gradient with values increasing from the left and right side to the middle creating a horizontal symmetry.
  • - Sin Square: A sine wave based gradient with values increasing from all sides to the center of the texture.
  • - Sin Smooth Square: A sine wave based gradient similar to the sine wave based square, but with smooth edge transition
  • - Logistic Asymmetrical: A gradient representing logistic growth with values increasing from left to right.
  • - Logistic Symmetrical: A gradient representing logistic growth with values increasing from the left and right side to the middle creating a horizontal symmetry.
  • - Logistic Square: A gradient representing logistic growth with values increasing from all sides to the center of the texture.
  • - Logistic Smooth Square: A gradient representing logistic growth similar to the logistic square, but with smooth edge transition
  • - Quarter Cylinder: A gradient representing a quarter of a cylinder in shape, with values increasing from left to right.
  • - Half Cylinder: A gradient forming a half pipe from left to right symmetrically.
  • Sphere To Square: A gradient that represents a hemisphere from a square base.
  • Sphere To Smooth Square: A gradient representing a hemisphere from a base that is a rounded square.
