interpolate()
Usage
transform1.interpolate(transform2,percentage)
Description
3D method; returns a copy of
transform
and rotation of
transform1
percentage. The original
interpolateTo()
To interpolate by hand, multiply the difference of two numbers by the percentage. For example,
interpolation from 4 to 8 by 50 percent yields 6.
Example
In this example, tBox is the transform of the model named Box, and tSphere is the transform of
the model named Sphere. The third line of the example interpolates a copy of the transform of
Box halfway to the transform of Sphere.
tBox = member("3d world").model("Box").transform
tSphere = member("3d world").model("Sphere").transform
tNew = tBox.interpolate(tSphere, 50)

Usage
transform1.interpolateTo(transform2, percentage)
Description
3D method; modifies
transform
of to the position and rotation of a new transform by a specified percentage. The
transform1
original
transform1
function.
To interpolate by hand, multiply the difference of two numbers by the percentage. For example,
interpolation from 4 to 8 by 50 percent yields 6.
Parameters
Required. Specifies the transform to which a given transform is interpolated.
transform2
Required. Specifies the rotation percentage of
percentage
Example
In this example, tBox is the transform of the model named Box, and tSphere is the transform of
the model named Sphere. The third line of the example interpolates the transform of Box halfway
to the transform of Sphere.
tBox = member("3d world").model("Box").transform
tSphere = member("3d world").model("Sphere").transform
