Along Stroke
This is the strength of the modifier’s effect, from 0% (no effect) to 100% (full effect).
The Range setting is the range over which the color, thickness or opacity is modified.
Line
This range is from the start to end of each stroke (or line segment if strokes are disabled).
Custom
The Custom mode lets you specify the start and end of the range (Min and Max) along the stroke in pixels and the number of times the range is looped (Loop).
For details on using gradients, see your CINEMA 4D reference manual.v
The Blend setting defines which blend mode is used to mix the gradient with the main color: Add, Subtract or Multiply. If you want the result to be the same color as the gradient, set the main color to black and the Blend mode to Add.
With Color set to black and Mode set to Add, the gradient’s colors are applied directly to the line.
