    Vector gradients in layer masks... how?

    jyeager11 Community Member

      Does anyone know if it's possible to add a GRADIENT vector mask to a vector shape layer?

       

      I have a logo made up of various vector layers, and I need one of them to fade to transparency. I traditionally use a regular "black-to-transparent" gradient on the mask for this, but it's pixel-based. So my question is, with regards to the black-to-transparent gradient located in the mask of a vector layer... is there any way to make this gradient vector-based instead of pixel-based?

       

      So I can resize the logo at will without affecting the quality of the gradient in the single layer mask.

       

      All the vector mask tutorials I found are for shapes (regular and irregular) but don't seem to involve gradient-based transparency <- which is what I need.
