Gradients for Ren'Py
A downloadable shader pack
Overview
Create gradients in Ren'Py without needing any external images. Excellent for all kinds of UI assets and effects, including transitions.
Features
- Supports three gradient types: linear, radial, and angle
- Use up to 16 colours for gradients, including transparent and translucent colours
- Adjust many properties, such as the angle, center, thresholds, scale, and more
- Can be applied over images and text
- Includes a GradientDisplayable displayable which can be used to easily create standalone gradient images
Since the shader is used in a transform, you can also animate the gradients via ATL - for example, by adjusting the angle over time, or changing its colours.
Instructions
Download gradient_shaders.zip and unzip it. Drop gradient_examples.rpy and gradient_shaders.rpy into your game folder. An example label is provided with some demo transforms and images, which you can try out by jumping to the label gradient_test. Keep GRADIENT_README.md around to read up on how the different gradient properties work.
Compatibility
This tool requires Ren'Py 7.4+ and config.gl2 to be True. It has been tested for compatibility with Ren'Py 7.5-7.6 and 8.0-8.2. If you have any issues, please make a post in the forums below.
