Coloring individual polygons using gradient

Hi

I would like to use a standard gradient texture to give each polygon a solid block color dependant on the position of the overall gradient map.

Like the attached.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi Rolf,

That would be the Variation Shader> Polygon Variation.

Is that what you are looking for?

Cheers

Hi Rolf, your very welcome.

Please check in the Materials, it is a shader.

All the best

Apologies for taking your on something this basic, but I cannot find it. Can it have moved or become legacy in 2023.1?
