Gradient shader like flash’s gradient support Software: Away3D 4.x

netphreak, Newbie Posted: 08 October 2012 05:47 PM Total Posts: 10 Hi, all! Anyone got any source, examples, tutorials on making a gradient shader for Away3D 4? Something like the flash gradient with color, ratio, alpha etc.? Regards, Netphreak
netphreak, Newbie Posted: 09 October 2012 04:16 PM Total Posts: 10 [ # 1 ] Let me rephrase - what’s the correct way to create a gradient material/texture for a plane - mimicking the way the Flash 2D engine draws gradients? Regards, Netphreak

Something like this: `var b:Bitmap = theBitmapYouMade var mat:TextureMaterial = new TextureMaterial(new BitmapTexture(b.bitmapData)); m.material = mat;` It works for me.
