Linear Gradient

Directional gradient with adjustable shape and repetition.

Select a node to adjust its parameters.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultRangeDescription
orientation
Orientation
enumverticalGradient direction.
  • vertical : Run the pattern vertically across the texture.
  • horizontal : Run the pattern horizontally across the texture.
position
Position
float00 to 1Peak position. 0=peak at start (descending ramp), 1=peak at end (ascending ramp), 0.5=centered bump.
profile
Profile
enumarcEquation used for the transition from 0 to 1.
  • arc : Circular curve. Curve 0 is linear; Curve 1 is a quarter-circle.
  • power : Exponent curve. Curve 0 is linear; Curve 1 is square root; Curve -1 is square.
  • cosine : Sinusoidal ease curve. Curve 0 is a smooth S-curve.
curve
Curve
float0-2 to 2Adjusts the selected profile. Negative values narrow the bright region; positive values broaden it.
repeats
Repeats
int11 to 64Number of gradient repetitions.
