# Vector Change Range

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Vector Change Range node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It remaps and optionally clamps each vector component to a new range — adapting colors, positions or custom data for further processing.

In short, this node returns *Input* remapped from *Old Range* values to *New Range* values, with an optional clamp.

This can be used to adapt, to remap and even to clamp colors or other vector values. For example:\
*Input* = 0.5, 1, 1\
*Old Range Min* = 0, 0, 0\
*Old Range Max* = 1, 1, 1\
*New Range Min* = 0, 0, 0\
*New Range Max* = 2, 0.5, 0.5

You can see that Input.x ist in the middle of the *Old Range.x* range, so the resulting x component is in the middle of the *New Range.x* range, which is 1.

The other two components for *Input.y* and *Input.z* are equal to the same *Old Range Max* components and therefore will be equal to the same *New Range Max* components, which both have a value of 0.5.\
The resulting vector is 1, 0.5, 0.5 in this example. Using *Input* components that are not included in the *Old Range* will lead to results the are also outside of the *New Range*. For example using the *Input* 2, 1, 1 with the above settings would result in an output of 4, 0.5, 0.5, if *Clamp To New Range* is switched off. Switching this option on will limit the output values to what has been defined with *New Range Min* and *New Range Max*.
