Scale
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.
This is the strength of the modifier’s effect, from 0% (no effect) to 100% (full effect).
The Axis setting is which axis to use: X, Y or Z.
The Coordinates setting lets you choose whether this axis is an object axis (Local) or world axis (World). For example, if you set Axis to Y and Coordinates to Local, the lines will be modified based on the scale of the object’s Y-axis.
Use the Min and Max settings to define a color range for the Color tab
This is the area over which the setting will be modified. If the area is set to Size the range will be from 0 to 1. To define an area manually, select Manual and define the area accordingly.
See Min.
