Gradient (Dynamic)
Remaps the grayscale values in an image, using a gradient supplied by a row or column of pixels in another image.
It serves as a slight alternative to the Gradient Node, but unlike the Gradient node, Gradient color keys are not defined internally, but come from an external input.
This mainly allows to avoid the problem where parameters cannot be exposed, as the parameters for color are moved outside of the node. This is what makes it “dynamic”.
While Gradient (Dynamic) is not a difficult node to use by itself, its usecases are a bit more advanced: most standard usages can be covered by the regular Gradient node.
This node comes in play when you are too limited by the Gradient editor’s key system, and want colors and ramp positions to be driven by other inputs, parameters and parts of your graph.
Alternatively, the Gradient Input Position slider can be used to alternate between multiple gradients stored inside a single Ramp input.
Parameters
Sets the axis along which the ‘Gradient input’ should be sampled:
- Horizontal: Sample a row of pixels on the X axis.
- Vertical: Sample a column of pixels on the Y axis.
