Holds a value between a minimum and a maximum.
The Clamp node
When to use it
Holds a value between a minimum and a maximum.
Its job is making a computed setting safe before it drives a mesh node. A triangle budget derived from a measurement can legitimately come out at zero or at ten million, and clamping is how the graph stays inside the range you tested.
A node that clamps internally gives you no signal that the value was out of range. This one keeps the intent on the canvas where you can see it.
Set Min above Max and it publishes nothing and says so, rather than handing back Max for every input.
