Method
This node generates a 2D gradient. It is usually used as an input into other nodes, such as the Tilt Shift and Voronoi 2D nodes.

Transform
| Name |
Description |
|---|
| Position X |
Move its position along the x-axis in local space. |
| Position Y |
Move its position along the y-axis in local space. |
| Position Z |
Move its position along the z-axis in local space. |
| Rotation Heading |
Rotate the object about the y-axis. |
| Rotation Pitch |
Rotate the object about the x-axis. |
| Rotation Bank |
Rotate the object about the z-axis. |
| Scale X |
Scale along the x-axis. |
| Scale Y |
Scale along the y-axis. |
| Scale Z |
Scale along the z-axis. |
Inherit Transform Channels
Toggle which transform channels should be inherited. By default, all are on.
Attributes
| Name |
Description |
|---|
| Mode |
Control how the gradient effect is built. |
| Apply Mode |
Control how the gradient effect is applied to the scene.
- Background, the gradient is applied behind the image.
- 3D Quad, the gradient is applied as a 2D plane in the scene.
- Object Shading, the gradient is generated per pixel based on the depths / positions of rendered 3D objects – making the gradient appear to be mapped to 3D objects.
- None, the gradient isn’t applied.
|
| Visible |
Control whether the node is visible or not to the scene. |
| Transition Mode |
The method by which colours are transitioned.
- Timeline – Switch, switch colours by their key positions on the timeline.
- Timed Fade, fade between colours at a set rate.
|
| Transition Time |
The fade time between colours. |
| Alpha |
Control the alpha value of the image. |
| Inner Range |
The inner distance for which colour 0 fills the space. |
| Outer Range |
The outer distance for which colour 1 fills the rest of the space.. |
| Falloff Power |
Change how far the gradient reaches. |
| Colour 0 |
Colour to transition from. |
| Colour 1 |
Colour to transition to. |
Distortion
| Name |
Description |
|---|
| Distortion Amount |
How much the the image distorts and moves horizontally. |
| Distortion Scale |
Scale the distortion along the x axis. |
Inputs
