Default value for a gradient in a macro

PostSat Dec 03, 2022 9:15 am

Hi. Can you please tell me if it is possible to set a default value for a gradient in a macro?

I tried this, but it doesn't work.
Code: Select all
            Gradient = InstanceInput {
               SourceOp = "Background",
               Source = "Gradient",
               Default[0] = { 1, 0.3, 0.5, 1 },
               Default[1] = { 0.5, 0.3, 1, 1 },
            },

I think that the way you save a macro is what it defaults to.
So if this is the gradient you like, the macro will start with this gradient when you create a new one in your flow. Remember that a macro is a widgified group operator which is basically a bunch of nodes and their settings all saved as one.

Yes I know, but I want when I reset the gradient settings, they are reset to the values I had in mind.

Then you have to create a default version of the tool first, by creating it the way you want to and then right-click --> save default - after that your desired gradient will be the default setting.

Thanks) But again, that's not what I need.)
I want the gradient to reset to the color I set when I left-click twice.

Then I'm misunderstanding you. What is it that you want to left-click twice?

When we double-click the Slider, it resets the values to their defaults. I want it to reset to the color I want when I double-click on the Gradient. Right now it has the default colors black + white.
