I have a unique usecase for utilizing shaders and gradients along a path that I am struggling to implement. I am attempting to connect several different examples I have seen here: Custom MeshLambertMaterial material like so Gradient at the border of the segmented colors similar to this Having the …

I’ve got this result: [изображение] Demo: https://codepen.io/prisoner849/full/dyEmLxZ

I’m not sure I understand the expected result, but a texture with a gradient might be sufficient for this … or not?

Yes! This is what I’m going for. Thank you! Now, I just need to be able to “blur” the 2 colors together slightly. The idea was to use a gradient along the sine function. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thank you for the solution. Is it possible to round the outside edges? I looked around the forum and saw that you’ve been working on rounded boxes for years. Is it possible to apply this to the LatheGeometry?
