Gradient on TS

[LeonRegis]

Exist any shader to make a texture gradient? I know that I can import from the Photoshop, but if exist a shader makes easier because of the real time possible changes...

Tom Grimes had some which I can't seem to locate online, looks like his site underwent a redesign.

Then there's always Gradient Thief.

Hey, I didn't have this either when I bought 6.6 a few years ago.

Also, it looks like there was supposed to be a Transparent Gradient with
this shader too. But It's not here.... Anyway to find it ???????

The color gradient works great though.........

For transparency gradients, you'll have to assign a mask.

(tS 6.x/ Model)

Open the Material Editor and then the Color channel.
At the top of the color channel click and hold on the 'transparency:x' and choose 'transparency:transparency map'

In the panel that pops up, right click the blank gray box and navigate to/assign your desired gradient image.
A simple black to white one works best, but any high contrast image will also work.
In this case, white=less transparent, black=more transparent.

Paint the object/ face.
You may have to adjust the UV mapping to your liking.

Keep in mind that you'll have to render the entire scene (not just the object) to see the transparency.

Thanks for the explanation spacedek! It will help a lot of new members or who want it...
