  • $\begingroup$ You mean the shader option? That would be a procedural transparency mask on the original dial, no separate masking object? Or a transparency mask on the masking object? Have I missed the whole point? I was just imitating the effect in the .blend file, but smoothly.. (I thought :) ) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @moonboots Looking back at the file, it does seem to be weight-painting, which partly explains his problem.. the gradient is not truly along the curve. It would have been better to paint the gradient on a straight band, and then deform it to a semicircle. $\endgroup$
