And this creates a gradient with all these swatches. Now I'm going to go to my swatches panel, and I'm going to select all these swatches and then drag them in my gradient. Another thing I can do is - if I select on any of the knots and twirl this open you will see that we get our color chooser. Let me press backspace and delete all the selected knots. And if I press H again then I'm going to zoom back to my default state.

Now if I have my knots close to each other and I want to see only this area I can press the S hotkey and it will zoom in and provide me a full view of the range from this knot to the other knot. Also I can grab any of the knots and move the whole thing around. If I move either the left or the right part I can actually stretch these knots to occupy any part of the gradient I want. We can now multi select using our normal selection tools - shift to add, ctrl or command to remove from the selection - and if I have more knots I can actually click and drag here and select a number of knots.

Now you can see that we have this little highlight here - if I click on this or if I press H on my keyboard, then the whole thing will become its default view where we can see the whole gradient from end to end. This way we can hone in to a very specific part of our gradient and add a knot where we want it. The next thing is that we can use our normal navigation tools - the ones we use in the viewport - to zoom in and to pan around. We have a small, and then we have a large version so we can see our gradient better. First of all if we right click you will see that we have these three predefined sizes, with medium being the default. Now as you can see the gradient looks a bit different. Let's add a gradient shader to our color channel and click on the icon to go into the gradient. Let's take a look at the new gradient at a glance. In Cinema 4D Release 20 MAXON has redesigned the gradient user interface and has added more functionality to it, making it more powerful and more accurate.
