The
Bilinear Ramp tool lets you create images with a variety of properties
and in several formats. The Bilinear Ramp tool is comprised of five
sets of color channel value fields that let you to generate a multi-color
image based on RGBA values. One set of values is for generating
the fill color, and four sets are for generating start and end ramped
colors residing in a four-quadrant region of definition (ROD). The
fill color is defined as those pixels residing outside the ROD.
Two other controls let you to position the X and Y axes of the ramps
at any location in the image.
NoteThe following procedure
assumes that you have a Schematic view and a Player view open.
To create a bilinear ramped image:
- Drag the Bilinear Ramp tool from the
Tools tab to the dependency graph in the Schematic view and attach
it to the Output node.
- Apply image properties—see
Setting Image Generation Properties and Formats.
- Adjust the color values in the Fill,
Lower Left, Lower Right, Upper Left, and Upper Right.
- Modify the location and direction of
the X and Y ramps.
NoteYou can also manipulate
the linear ramp by clicking and dragging the horizontal and vertical
bars.
NoteYou can also type
values directly into the value fields and press Enter.
