Gradient text for Elementor — a colour gradient across any heading or text, with the angle and stops under your control.
Northlight puts your V-Ray, Redshift, Cycles and Karma jobs onto 4,096 GPUs that were idle thirty seconds ago. Upload the scene, walk to the kettle, come back to frames.
Every studio we speak to has already squeezed the scene. Denoisers, portals, adaptive sampling, instanced geometry — all of it, twice. What is left is arithmetic. One machine finishes in nine hours. Forty machines finish in fourteen minutes, and the artist is still in the room when the frames land.
You can be rendering before your coffee is cool. There is no onboarding call, no capacity request, and no minimum term to sign.
Drop a .vrscene, .rs or .blend into the watch folder. Northlight reads the dependency tree and tells you what is missing before it spends a penny of your money.
Say when you need it. We work backwards to a GPU count and quote the cost to the cent. Change your mind halfway through and the count changes with you.
Output goes back to your bucket in the folder structure it came from, with a per-frame log and the exact seed used. There is nothing to reconcile afterwards.
Typical first render on a brand-new account: ninety-one seconds from upload to frame one.
No seats, no support tier, no annual commitment. Transfer in and out is free up to two terabytes a month, which covers almost everyone.
Kestrel had eleven weeks and a planning committee that meets once a month. The old plan was three freelancers and a render box in the corner of the studio. Instead one artist ran 1,880 frames through Northlight overnight, four nights running, and spent the days fixing the things the frames kept revealing.
“The render stopped being the thing we planned the week around.”
“We moved eleven shows onto Northlight in a fortnight. The part I did not expect was the scheduling — it tells you the cost and the finish time before it starts, and in nine months it has been wrong twice.”
We do not ship a proprietary engine and we are not going to. Northlight schedules whatever your studio already licences, at the version your show is pinned to.
6.0, 6.2 and 7.0 · hybrid CPU + GPU buckets
3.5 and 3.6 · CUDA and Metal nodes
Blender 4.1 to 4.5 · OptiX denoise
Houdini 20.5 · XPU and CPU fallback
7.3 · OptiX 8, adaptive sampling on
2026.1 · RTX nodes, out-of-core geometry
The person who replies has shell access to the scheduler. There is no first line, and there is no ticket that quietly ages out.
Only that frame is retried, on a different GPU, up to three times. The rest of the batch keeps moving. You get a per-frame log with the node ID and the driver version, so you can tell a scene bug from a hardware one without guessing.
No. Northlight mounts your bucket for the length of the job and unmounts when the last frame lands. Nothing is copied onto our storage, and the credentials we hold are scoped to the single prefix you name.
Yes, and on Pipeline you have to. We point the render nodes at your licence server over a private link. We never hold keys, and we do not resell seats.
Inside the quoted window on 98% of jobs over the last year. When we miss it the overrun is free — you are billed the quote, not the clock.
No. The smallest invoice we sent last month was one dollar and thirty-four cents, and that customer gets the same scheduler as everybody else.
No card, no discovery call, no trial that quietly turns into a contract. Upload a scene tonight and see what comes back before anyone else is awake.
Straight answers about what this one does, where it fits in a real build, and what it costs you to ship.

On the Style tab of any widget. Sky Addons for Elementor adds a Gradient Text section to every widget’s panel — Heading, Text Editor, Button, or one of its own — rather than shipping a gradient heading widget. It is not offered on sections or containers, because it needs actual text to paint through.
By default every heading level from h1 to h6, plus paragraphs, spans, links and divs inside that one widget. The rules are scoped to the element you enabled it on, so a gradient on one heading never leaks into the widget next to it.
Wrap the word in a span with a class of your own in the widget’s text field, then put that class in the Custom Selector field — for example .my-highlight. Comma-separated selectors are accepted, and anything invalid or empty quietly falls back to the full default list.
Yes to both. The colour picker here is Elementor’s own background group control, so you get linear and radial gradients with angle, position and two stops, and Classic mode lets you clip a background image to the letterforms instead of a colour blend.
Yes. The words stay as HTML with a gradient clipped to their shapes, so visitors can select and copy them, screen readers announce them, and search engines index them normally. That is the whole advantage over exporting a coloured headline as an image.
Because the effect makes the letter fill transparent and shows the background through the glyphs. If that background resolves to nothing visible — a stop left blank, or a colour matching the section behind it — the words vanish instead of falling back to black. Set both gradient stops explicitly.
No. The panel section registers one state only, and because the letter fill is transparent a widget’s own hover text colour will not show through it either. For a colour change on hover, animate something else — an underline, a background, or the widget’s border.
No. One gradient is painted across the whole element box and the letters reveal the part of it they sit on, so a three-line headline shows a single continuous blend from the first line to the last rather than three identical sweeps. Narrow the element to tighten the transition.
Neither. It is in the free Sky Addons plugin, runs on free Elementor, and generates the background-clip rules for you, so there is no custom CSS field, code snippet or child theme involved. No JavaScript is loaded for it either.
It can. Links and spans are in the default target list, so a button inside the same widget picks the gradient up along with the heading. If that is not what you want, name the exact element in Custom Selector and only that one is painted.
