Inputs

The Profile node does not accept any input.

Outputs

The Profile node generates a greyscale image showing the profile of the specified gradient.

Parameters

The Profile node has the following parameters:

  • the drawing mode of the profile: fill will fill the lower part of the curve and curve just draws the curve

  • the gradient whose profile is shown

  • the width of the Profile to be drawn

Notes

The main purpose of this node is to visualize gradients to be used in other nodes to create depth or normal maps. The gradient can easily be copied to a Gradient or Colorize node using drag and drop.
