Can I save the gradient I created with a Gradient Map node and reload it again in Substance Designer?

Hi

One of the principles of Substance Designer is that any graph can be used as an 'instance' i.e. a building block in another graph.

To do that add an output node to your gradient and save the graph as an SBS. I've called mine Gradient_Demo

 

In your new graph, where you want to use the gradient, open the Gradient_Demo package and drag the Gradient_Demo onto the new graph where it will appear as a node.
