Vertical Gradient

Create a bottom-to-top gradient with vUv.y.

Overview

• Implement a vertical gradient using UV as the factor.

Learning Objectives

• Practice coordinate-based coloring

Prerequisites

• uv-coordinates

Key Concepts

• A vertical gradient uses a 0-1 factor (usually UV) to blend colors.

float t = vUv.y;
vec3 color = mix(colorA, colorB, t);

• Keep the factor inside [0,1].

t = clamp(t, 0.0, 1.0);

How To Implement (Step-by-step)

• Set factor: t = vUv.y.
• Map t to a color (grayscale or mix).
• Output gl_FragColor with alpha=1.

Self-check

• Does it compile without errors?
• Does the output match the goal?
• Are key values kept in [0,1]?

Common Mistakes

• Clamp t into [0,1] when needed.
