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.

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.
