I wanna have everything more than 10units away from the camera in yellow. how would I go about doing it?

The computation is done using the camera’s min and max values. Take the minimum and the maximum, the distance between them is “1”. so setting minimum to 0 (or 0.001) and max to 100, if the cutoff if 0.5, elements more than 50 units away from the camera will be yellow:

The default maxZ is quite high, this is why the low number 0.00009 was working in your playground.
