Smooth Step

What is it about?

This page documents the Smooth Step node of the Scene Nodes system in Cinema 4D. It maps values into a range with an S-curve instead of a hard edge — the standard for soft thresholds and eased transitions.

The Edge 1 and Edge 2 values can be used to define a value range within which the input Value can freely move. The Value setting will be relative in percent to the defined value range. In practice, this means that if values of less than 0.5 are used, a shift of smaller percent values in the direction 0% will occur and a shift in the direction of 100% will occur if values greater than 0.5 are used.
