Radial

Best for: circular highlights or vignettes from a center point.

Radial lays a gradient that radiates outward from a point. Drag from a center and a live circular preview grows with your cursor — perfect for eyes, lights, decals, vignettes, or any "glow from a point" effect. The preview renders every intermediate color stop of the gradient, so the on-screen rings match the final multi-stop result.

How to use it

1. Edit Mode (Tab) → select the faces to paint.
2. UV Tools ▸ Radial tab → pick a Target strip (use a Gradient strip for the radial fade).
3. Click Activate Radial Tool.
4. Click to set the gradient center.
5. Drag outward to set the radius, then release to apply.

How the colors map

• The gradient's first color stop sits at the center.
• The gradient's last color stop sits at the edge (the radius you dragged to).
• Faces outside the radius keep the edge color — so the surrounding area stays clean.

Vignettes & glows

Build a gradient that fades from a bright center to a darker rim, drop the center where you want the hotspot, and drag out to taste. Press F to flip it into a dark-center vignette without rebuilding the strip.
