Hi. Is it possible to add a colour gradient effect to text without using a background image as the gradient?

I'm trying to achieve this effect ...

Thank you.

  Hello Malcom,

  Unfortunately there is no easy solution to add a gradient effect to text NOT using a pre-existing image with an gradient effect. 

  We do have some gradient effects that are reserved for images (i.e. gradient fade or gradient fade into padding) which works great for images/padding. 

  However the easiest solution to achieve what you are looking would be to use an image as a text texture as you hinted at in your original post.  Link on how to achieve this via our cookbook can be found below:

  I hope this helps!

  Hi, thank you for the quick response. Now that I know there is no alternative method, I can now proceed with adding a coloured gradient image to my text to achieve the desired effect.

   

  Much appreciated.
