Radius, Luminosity



For details on using gradients, look up ‘Using gradients’ in the index.

The Luminosity gradient controls

the luminosity of puffs within

the cavity.

These gradients control the radius and luminosity of puffs depending on their distance

from the cavity’s inner wall (see ‘Near Range, Far Range’ above). The left edge of the
gradient represents the Near Range value, the right the Far Range value. A white color
on the gradient means the puffs will remain the same size or luminosity. Black means
zero radius or no luminosity, while gray values are intermediate values.

Color Mix, Color



For details on using gradients, look up ‘Using gradients’ in the index.

With the Color gradient you

have two gradients in one. A

gradient controls the color

(left) while another controls the

transparency (right) of puffs in

the cavity.

With the Color Mix and Color gradients you can control how the color of puffs in
the cavity should change. As with the Radius and Luminosity gradients, the left
edge of the gradient represents the Near Range value, the right edge represents the
Far Range value.

The color defined by the Color gradient is mixed with the base color of puffs, as defined

on the Globals page. The Color Mix gradient controls how these two colors are mixed.
White means only the color of the puffs inside the cavity is used, while black means
only the base color is used; with gray values, these two colors are mixed.

In addition, the Color gradient includes an alpha gradient that enables you to control
the opacity of puffs in the cavity.
