# Scalar Ramp

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Scalar Ramp node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It remaps an input coordinate through an editable value curve — shaping falloffs and masks precisely; its color sibling is the Ramp node.

This shader node maps an input coordinate to a float value, which can for example be used as a grayscale or to control another float value input. If you like to output a color gradient instead, have a look at the similar [Ramp](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/COM_REDSHIFT3D_REDSHIFT4C4D_NODES_CORE_RSRAMP.html.md) node.
