    Gradient Node

    Description

    Defines a constant Gradient for use in Shader Graph, although internally to the shader this is defined as a struct. To sample the Gradient it should be used in conjunction with a Sample Gradient Node. When using a separate Gradient Node, you can sample a Gradient multiple times with different Time parameters.

    Ports

    Name Direction Type Description
    Out Output Gradient Output value

    Controls

    Name Type Options Description
    Gradient Field Defines the gradient.

    Generated Code Example

    The following example code represents one possible outcome of this node.

    Gradient Unity_Gradient_float()
    {
        Gradient g;
        g.type = 1;
        g.colorsLength = 4;
        g.alphasLength = 4;
        g.colors[0] = 0.1;
        g.colors[1] = 0.2;
        g.colors[2] = 0.3;
        g.colors[3] = 0.4;
        g.colors[4] = 0;
        g.colors[5] = 0;
        g.colors[6] = 0;
        g.colors[7] = 0;
        g.alphas[0] = 0.1;
        g.alphas[1] = 0.2;
        g.alphas[2] = 0.3;
        g.alphas[3] = 0.4;
        g.alphas[4] = 0;
        g.alphas[5] = 0;
        g.alphas[6] = 0;
        g.alphas[7] = 0;
        return g;
    }
    
    Gradient _Gradient = Unity_Gradient_float();
