It makes no difference how large the puff grows, since the gradient is always adjusted
to fit, a process known as ‘normalization’. You can change the normalization of the
gradient using the Min and Max values. Min represents the center area (0 is the
actual center) and Max represents the outer edge of the puff (100% is equivalent
to the radius of the puff). For example, a Max value of 80% means that the right-
hand side of the gradient color will be used to draw the puff when the distance
from the center is greater than 80% of the radius.

World Radius, Min, Max
Again using the same gradient
as in the Flat Radius example
above and a puff radius of 50,
here are two examples of using
World Radius gradients with Max
set to 10 (left) and 25 (right).
World Radius mode uses a non-normalized color gradient and the Min and Max
values represent the radius measured in World coordinates. For example, suppose
the puffs have a radius of 50, the Max value is set to 25 and the color gradient is
yellow to blue: only the right-hand side color of the gradient (blue, in this case) will
be used to draw the puffs at distances more than 25 units from the center.

Density, Min, Max
Density gradients with Max set
to 200 (left) and 80 (right), again
using the gradient defined in the
Flat Radius example above.
Use the Density mode to draw the puffs based on the individual density values
of each point in the volume. The left-hand color in the color gradient is used for
areas of minimum (Min) density; the right-hand color of the gradient is used for
the areas of maximum (Max) density.
