@SeanErren These videos with the changing ramp offset are really cool. Thanks for doing this.

Day 1/3 - XM Solitude 1/3 It's finally time to talk Solitudes! As you may already know, unlike other pattern based skins, the template of the XM Solitude doesn't only change its position but also its colors using a color template. And it's not the first skin to do it...

@SeanErren @Oskarr1239 Oskar just gave me a more detailed response saying that the pattern offset and the color influence by the case hardening may affect the color more than the ramp offset on the Rainbow Spoon, don’t worry 😅

@mdstsrht @Oskarr1239 The so called "fade percentage" would be the ramp offset which would be the exact same as the XM. The problem is that it's more complicated, there is also a template that determines where off-colored spots will be and a value for how opaque it is... @Oskarr1239 help? XD

@SeanErren @Oskarr1239 Wonder if "Fade" percentages could be found for that since the patterns are linear (on ramp offset I assume) and the maximum would be considered as full yellow patterns as they're rarer

@mdstsrht @Oskarr1239 It does indeed also use Ramp Offset values :) Unfortunately though, it doesn't have a rare range where it drastically changes, it's linear all the way, kind of like Fades which makes it impossible to rank with a ton of full blue and yellow variants (although yellow seems rarer)

@SeanErren @Oskarr1239 That guide was absolutely worth the wait! I wonder if you will look into Galil AR Rainbow Spoon later because of it also having similar case hardening ramp offset color changes

Also while I am it, the scaling is wrong on some camo skins:

Before I get to day 2 of Solitudes - I need your guys' opinion about something. Let's call it day 1.5/3. Which one of these do you think looks better? (pattern seed is deliberately hidden). If you have any biases from previous knowledge or ownership please don't vote. Poll below

Day 1/3 - XM Solitude 3/3 Remember how I said that it's not the first skin to change color? The Ramp Offset's full name is: "Case Hardening Ramp Offset" which doesn't come from Case Hardeneds but rather from Heat Treateds which pioneered Ramp Offsets in order to change color.

Day 1/3 - XM Solitude 2/3 The way Solitudes change color is by using a hidden value called: "Ramp Offset" which, just like a float value, is a number between 0 and 1. That value is then attached to the pattern seed to give every seed a defined color.
