Gradient (Color)

Python: "map_gradient_color"

The gradient color map interpolates through a list of up to 5 colors along the U (horizontal) texture axis. This map is often used as input to the remap node for height-based coloring in materials such as wood, marble, ... or falloff-based effects such as iridiscence.

Common¶

Node alias¶

Python: "map_alias"

Human-readable node alias.

Alias color¶

Coordinate space¶

Python: "map_xform_space"

Defines whether the map issues its own volumetric (object or world) mapping coordinates for seamless 3D tiling, or uses the existing object UVs. The instance UVs mode is applicable to instances (e.g., in scatter) and plucks the UVs of the base at the instancing point.

Crop U (low)¶

Python: "map_distortion_noise"

Amount of noise distortion applied to the UVs before they are used.

Noise size¶

Python: "map_distortion_noise_size"

Amplitude of the noise distortion. This value is given in UVW space; e.g., 0.1 means that the maximum distortion is about 1/10th of a 1x1x1 texture tile.

Number of times the noise algorithm overlaps onto itself to add high-frequency details.

Jitter blur radius¶

Python: "map_distortion_blur"

Amount of 2D gaussian (jittering) blur applied to the UVs before they are used. This value is given in UVW space. Note that this type of blur may cause sampling noise that takes long to dissolve.
