User Manual

Gradient Color
The Gradient Color modifier allows you to create a customized gradient and map it into a
specific time range to control a value. Use the Start and End time controls to set the frames for
the animation. If the Start and End time values are set to 0, then the modifier returns the value at
the starting point of the gradient. You can use the Offset control to animate the
gradient manually.
It can be applied by right-clicking a parameter and selecting Modify With > Gradient Color.
Inspector
Controls Tab
The Controls tab consists of a Gradient bar where you add and adjust points of the gradient.
Start Time and End Time thumbwheels at the bottom of the Inspector determine the time range
the gradient is mapped into.
Gradient
The Gradient control consists of a bar where it is possible to add, modify, and remove points of
the gradient. Each point has its color. It is possible to animate the color as well as the position of
the point. Furthermore, a From Image modifier can be applied to the gradient to evaluate it
from an image.
Gradient Interpolation Method
The gradient is linearly interpolated from point to point in RGB color space by default. This can
sometimes result in unwanted colors. Choosing another color space may provide a better result.
