Sorry for being to impatient... with ReMap the gradient of course works:

Wieland,

For the color, you need to remap the z values from their bounds to (0-1).

In regards to the weaverbird issue, there could be two causes, one of the t inputs could be null, or welding the mesh may solve it.

Okay, it works with cullVertices:

David,

thanks a lot for your explanation. My definition woks quite well now, somehow the third gradient color doesn't show up and WB is not willing to subdivide the mesh... 

I got WB version 9.0.1 , this error message balloon shows up:

1. WbProcessingException: Two consecutive edges, 3 and 0, have the same value,0, in face 0. This topology is invalid. Try using Weaverbird's Clean Up Mesh first. - Weaverbird was unable to produce a valid result because of this

BTW: I like Mesh(+) a lot, its a great tool! Thanks for that.

Wieland,

Sure thing, the process is fairly simple:

1: Created a Mesh Sphere Ex

2: Deconstructed the mesh and extracted the Z parameter from each vertex

3: Applied a Color Mesh pattern where the unitized Z parameters sampled a three color gradient

4: Used the mesh(+) Polyp component and applied a yellow color swatch to the "clr" input.

5: Smoothed the mesh with the Weaverbird Catmull Clark subdivision component.

Hi David,

the vertex coloring looks really great! Can you explain or post a example how you apply the color?

Thanks and greetings from Munich, Wieland
