Gradient Texture Node

The Gradient Texture node generates interpolated color and intensity values based on the input vector.

Inputs

Vector

Texture coordinate to sample texture at; defaults to Generated texture coordinates if the socket is left unconnected.

Properties

Type

Controls the type of gradient generated.

• Linear:

  Directly outputs the input X coordinate.

  Quadratic:

  Interpolates the input X coordinate quadratically.

  Easing:

  Uses a combination of quadratic and linear interpolation to generate a smooth gradient from the input X coordinate.

  Diagonal:

  Averages the input X and Y coordinates.

  Spherical:

  Creates an inverse gradient using the length of the input vector; the maximum value is at (0, 0, 0).

  Quadratic Sphere:

  The same as Spherical, except interpolated quadratically.

  Radial:

  Outputs a value based on the angle of the input around the Z axis.

Outputs

Color

Texture color output.

Factor

Texture intensity output.
