The normalrange.pl script was developed for the Renderman tree bark shader it evaluates the range to normalise the height value of the displacement shader.
This script can be used to print out the range of a specific value in a shader.
In order to execute it the user has to add the following line "//printf" at the position of the shader code from which to print the value of interest. To execute it enter normalrange.pl <shader> <rib> <shaderdir without "/" at the end> <value to check> <Compiled shader name> in the commandline. For example normalrange.pl ../shader/Bark2.sl ../rib/trunk_cameraShape1.1.rib ../shader hump Bark2.sdl
