Whats up, for numerous Alpha Erosion and Smoothstepping functions I typically have to create a “path” and I would like it mapped from black to white by following the trail route.
For “linear” stuff it’s no concern because it’s only a matter of overlaying a gradient with a sure angle, however i’m puzzled relating to how I could make this gradient observe the route of a path.
I’m including a horrible drawing I swiftly painted, in hopes of constructing my query extra comprehensible.
Anybody bought an thought?
P.S: Bonus factors if I don’t have to make use of Adobe Illustrator 
but when there’s a method to do it there, I’m up for it!
Perhaps I misunderstood your query, however so far as getting ready a curve for recreation VFX, you should uv flatten your uv-s earlier than bringing it to a recreation engine.

To that.
Then you definitely use a texture coordinate gradient node within the materials editor like this to get a gradient from starting to finish.
