The SmoothstepCHOP has a range input: Fromrange1, and Fromrange2. It also has a range output: Torange1, and Torange2. For an input value x, the SmoothstepCHOP is equivalent to the following GLSL code:
return mix(Torange1, Torange2, smoothstep(Fromrange1, Fromrange2, x));
There are alternative modes such as "smootherstep", "smootheststep", and "linear clamp".
