Parameter Details Num Control Points Number of control colours.
Selection Mode How the colours are selected and output.
- Individual Colours : outputs unchanged colours from the control colours.
- Gradient : colours selected on a gradient between the control colours.
- Single Colour Selection : selects individual colours based on the single colour index. Only works as an input to Particle Emitter nodes.
Single Colour Index Selects an individual colour to be output. Only functions with single colour selection selected in the selection mode attribute.
Gradient Texture Mode Decide how to create the colour ramp.
- Smooth Gradient : Use a gradient to swap between the colours.
- Individual Colours : Use a hard cut to swap between the colours.
