Gradient/color texture question

[DistoCore]

Hi,

I'm quite new to KnobMan and currently evaluating it,
Till now I have done all my knobs in Blender
and now I'm porting them to KnobMan with really great results
A definately big plus (+) is fast rendering time and build-in frame stiching.

Now my problem is:
I'm trying to achive/create a gradient circle - like in my VST here (see in/out volume knob):



So far I could not get a similar result, specular/hue parameters are going into similar direction,
but unfortunately they are calibrated over time.
I could not find any possiblities to enter a Start/Stop color for gradient
and color rgb/rgba textures are not working.
Any hint would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Best regards

You can't have color gradients in KnobMan AFAIK - only gradient masks.

Hi EvilDragon,

thanks for the info.
I tried the gradient masks (effects), but it looks like they modify only the alpha component of the cirle ...

[EvilDragon]

Yes, they're masks, that's what they do...

I think you'll have to import your gradient as an image.

Gradient from dark-orange to light-orange is possible with following settings (one layer).
By combining two layers with different colours and angles you can get coloured gradients, although my experiments did not yield convincing results.
