Gradient 2D Renderer
Method #
This node generates a 2D Gradient based on the positions and colours of active particles.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Visible
Control whether the node is visible or not to the scene.
Alpha
How much the rendered gradient blends with the scene.
Blend Mode
How the gradient blends with the scene. See Blend Modes for details.
Falloff Scale
Scale the size of the falloff.
Falloff Power
How strong the falloff is.
Sort Key Value
Biases the depth-based render order, to force the particle system to be drawn before or after other objects in the scene.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.

|---|---|---|
| Rendered Emitters | Specify which emitters are rendered using this renderer. By default, all emitters connected to the same particle root as the renderer are rendered. | Primitive Emitter |
| Transform Modifiers | Apply the transforms of another node to this node. | Null |
| Target Node | Modifiy the rotations of the node to always direct the z axis towards the input. | Null |
| Local Transform Override | Apply the transforms of another node to this node, relative to its parent. | Null |
