Properties

<Gradient>.color1 Color default: (color 0 0 0) -- animatable, alias: Color_1 

The gradient interpolates between 3 colors. This is the first color.

<Gradient>.map1 TextureMap default: undefined -- alias: Map_1 

You can interpolate between 3 maps instead of colors. This is the first map.

<Gradient>.map1Enabled Boolean default: true -- alias: Map_1_Enable 

When on, the associated map is enabled.

<Gradient>.color2 Color default: (color 127.5 127.5 127.5) -- animatable, alias: Color_2 

The gradient interpolates between 3 colors. This is the second color.

<Gradient>.map2 TextureMap default: undefined -- alias: Map_2 

You can interpolate between 3 maps instead of colors. This is the second map.

<Gradient>.map2Enabled Boolean default: true -- alias: Map_2_Enable 

When on, the associated map is enabled.

<Gradient>.color3 Color default: (color 255 255 255) -- animatable, alias: Color_3 

The gradient interpolates between 3 colors. This is the third color.

<Gradient>.map3 TextureMap default: undefined -- alias: Map_3 

You can interpolate between 3 maps instead of colors. This is the third map.

<Gradient>.map3Enabled Boolean default: true -- alias: Map_3_Enable 

When on, the associated map is enabled.

<Gradient>.color2Pos Float default: 0.5 -- animatable, alias: Color_2_Position 

Controls the centerpoint of the middle color. The position ranges from 0 to 1. When it is 0, color2 replaces color3 . When it is 1, color2 replaces color1 .

<Gradient>.gradientType Integer default: 0 -- alias: Gradient_Type 

Sets the type of gradient:

0- Linear (Interpolates the color based on the vertical position.)

1- Radial (Interpolates based on the distance from the center of the map.)

<Gradient>.noiseAmount Float default: 0.0 -- animatable, alias: Noise_Amount 

When nonzero (ranges from 0 to 1), applies a noise effect. This perturbs the color interpolation parameter using a 3D noise function based on U, V, and Phase.

<Gradient>.noiseType Integer default: 0 -- alias: Noise_Type 

Set the type of noise

0-Regular (Generates plain noise. This is the same as Fractal noise with the Levels setting at 1.)

1-Fractal (Generates noise using a fractal algorithm. noiselevels sets the number of iterations for the fractal noise.)

2-Turbulence (Generates fractal noise with an absolute value function applied to it to make fault lines. The noise amount must be greater than 0 to see any effects of turbulence.)

<Gradient>.noiseSize Float default: 1.0 -- animatable, alias: Noise_Size 

Scales the noise function. Smaller values give smaller chunks of noise.

<Gradient>.noisePhase Float default: 0.0 -- animatable, alias: Noise_Phase 

Controls the speed of the animation of the noise function. A 3D noise function is used for the noise. The first two parameters are U and V and the third is phase.

<Gradient>.noiseLevels Float default: 4.0 -- animatable, alias: Noise_Levels 

Sets the number of fractal iterations or turbulence (as a continuous function).

<Gradient>.noiseThresholdLow Float default: 0.0 -- animatable, alias: Low_Threshold 
<Gradient>.noiseThresholdHigh Float default: 1.0 -- animatable, alias: High_Threshold 
<Gradient>.noiseThresholdSMooth Float default: 0.0 -- animatable, alias: Threshold_Smoothing 

When the noise value is above the Low threshold and below the High threshold, the dynamic range is stretched to fill 0-1. This produces a smaller discontinuity at the threshold transition and thus causes less potential aliasing.

noiseThresholdLow : Sets the low threshold.

noiseThresholdHigh : Sets the high threshold.

NoiseThresholdSmooth : Helps make a smoother transition from the threshold value to the noise value. When 0, no smoothing is applied. When it is 1, the maximum amount of smoothing is applied.
