2. Convert Color Ramp to Map Range

RampConvertor adds a Convert to Map Range button to the N-panel (Side Panel) of Blender's Shader Editor.

Blender's Color Ramp is normally used to map an input value through a gradient, while Map Range is designed to remap a value from one numerical range to another.

How to use it

1. Open the Shader Editor.
2. Press N to open the sidebar.
3. Select a Color Ramp node.
4. Open the RampConvertor panel.
5. Click Convert to Map Range.

RampConvertor will automatically convert the selected Color Ramp into a Map Range node while preserving the relevant values from the Color Ramp.

This makes it quick to replace a Color Ramp when you are using it for numerical value remapping rather than color generation.

3. Example

Before:

Value → Color Ramp

After:

Value → Map Range

Instead of manually recreating the range settings, RampConvertor performs the conversion for you while preserving the existing setup.
