Max/Min and Noamlization of Attribute Values?

[shawn_kearney]

To get the the maximum value from geometry attributes I've been using a sort SOP. Typically I then plug this into a another sort and reverse so that I can normalize the attribute using Fit Range VOP. This works, but it's a bit cumbersome to set up every time I want to normalize an attribute, which is very frequent.

Is there a better way?

You can use Promote SOP and promote the max/min to detail. Then pipe those attributes into Fit Range VOP.

Sky pretty much answered you, there's also the option of using the max and min vop sop nodes for the global max min values.

That would only work if you iterate over all the points, even then it's quite cumbersome. Wouldn't recommend it.

I wrote this op in VEX, faster than using 2 AttribPromotes:

Animatrix thank you very much for the OTL!

Five years passed and I am thinking ... now that we have many new Attribute nodes, is this feature inbuilt in Houdini somewhere?
