Hi,
Please see attached for a VOP SOP I have made which does work. I am looking to see though if this is the correct approach to dealing with attribute values getting very large.

Basically I have a user start and end frame and I want a attribute value to grow from 1 to a very large number ie 20000 . As the time frame plays the value increases in quite large amounts. This is due to the fact I am using a ramp which compresses everything down to zero to 1. It does not seem to me to be the best way to approach this problem. Is there any other way to reach the goal without the use of a ramp.

if you need ramp control, you can use it that way

however if you want just linear or smooth growth you can simply do everything in fit function (maybe smooth afterwards)
fit :current frame
from range: startFrame - endFrame
toRange: initialValue - targetValue
