Hi everyone! Let me know what you're using the gradient texture node for in the comments below! :)

This is the kind of content you're so good at. Taking a feature and breaking it down for us -- really appreciate the effort you put into these videos.

The CG Essentials THANK YOU for explaining so simply and succinctly. Usually, there's a lot of theory but not a lot of practical examples of what you can do for not only the example given but as a building block for other things. Your explanation is AWESOME.

Thanks Justin! I'm applying this to a fog cube over a scene section. Very helpful!

Is there any way of doing the reverse, instead of changing a gradient into a sharp edge, change a sharp edge into a gradient?

@militaryvetandfather Жыл бұрын

Can a gradient be added to the normals of an object instead of the object itself?

Hello, how do I make the gradient go on the border of a noise texture?

can we stretch the gredient texture ? thank you for answering

Is there a way to us the Gradient Texture to achieve the effect of the object gradually becoming opaque towards its core?

This is exactly what I need :nod:

Thanks ! There is a way to mix existing materials instead of mixing simple texture ?

@robertwells4729 2 жыл бұрын

Yes you can use a Mix Shader node.

Hey! Really great videos. Do you know how to make a gradient start from the origin of an object and fade outwards in its normal direction? Like from a sphere or cube? I am trying to fade the edges of a volume cloud (a cube with a 3d noise texture) and can't get the edges to stop clipping. Thx!

for some reason, my emissive gradient is relative to the camera, meaning it will shift as my camera moves as though the gradient is always ontop of the mesh and not actually static.
