Colour Gradients

Gradients are used to visualize fluid particle channels like velocity or vorticity. You find them with domain and emitter nodes:

  • Node Params > Display > Particle range color

 

A click on the “+” icon opens the gradient tools:

 

Colour Knots



  • Colour knots can be moved freely – their absolute positions are displayed in percent under “Position”. 0 = outer left position, 100 = outer right position.
  • When active, a colour knot's RGB components are editable. A colour can be selected with a click on the colour filed or adjusted with the RBG/HSV sliders.
  • New colour knots are added with a click on the grey bar below the gradient. A new bias knot is also created.
  • To remove a colour knot, right-click on it, and choose “Remove color knot”. The corresponding bias knot will be removed as well.

Bias Knots




  • Bias knots can be shifted to control a colour's influence.
  • New bias knots are created automatically when a new marker is added.
  • When a bias knot is active its position is measured between its corresponding colour knots. Under “Position” you will see a percent value ranging from 0 (= left colour knot) to 100 (= right colour knot).
