bytes
The bit depth of the generated image. There are three settings: 8 bits, 16 bits, or float
(1, 2, or 4 bytes per channel).
orientation
Toggles between generating a horizontal or vertical gradient.
center
The point in the frame at which there’s a 50-percent blend of each color.
Color1, alpha1, depth1
The color, alpha value, and Z channel value at the left (horizontal) or bottom (vertical)
of the frame.
Color2, alpha2, depth2
The color, alpha value, and Z channel value at the right (horizontal) or top (vertical) of
the frame.
Rand
The Rand node generates a random field of noise. The field does not resample if you
change the resolution or density—you can animate the density without pixels
randomly changing. The seed is set to time by default so that it changes every frame,
but you can of course lock this parameter to one value.
Parameters
This node displays the following controls in the Parameters tab:
width, height
The width and height value fields in the Res parameter set the size of the generated
image.
bytes
The bit depth of the generated image. There are three settings: 8 bits, 16 bits, or float
(1, 2, or 4 bytes per channel).
