Colors in 3ds Max are interpreted in two different ways: RGB and HSV. In

RGB (red, green, blue), you can select one of 256 shades of red, green, and

blue, giving you a palette of 16.7 million colors (24 Bit). In HSV (Hue,

Saturation, Value), you can select one of 256 hues of color, then adjust the

saturation or the value of the color. The saturation can also be considered the

blackness of a color and value can be considered the whiteness of a color.

For transparent and size gradients, you adjust the vertical whiteness slider just

to the left of the RGB and HSV sliders. The white triangle on the right side of

the vertical bar is the slider. This controls the overall value of the color in

terms of HSV. In RGB terms, it is the same as adjusting all three colors equally

at the same time. Higher values on the whiteness scale represent more

transparency, or smaller sizes.
