A tag may bring back posts with gradient files, as well as posts that discuss gradients, or tutorials about them.

Z manipulation

Variations that manipulate only the z coordinate. All of these must be used with another variation to process x and y (even if linear to simply copy it).

Meshes

Variations that generate meshes, three dimensional shapes made from connected triangles. These are all blur variations that ignore their inputs. They are most useful for solid renders, though they work for normal flames as well.
