372 Chapter 12: Methods
interpolate()
Usage
transform1 .interpolate( transform2 , percentage )
Description
3D
transform
method; returns a copy of
transform1
created by interpolating from the position
and rotation of
transform1
to the position and rotation of
transform2
by the specified
percentage. The original
transform1
is not affected. To interpolate
transform1
, use
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)

interpolateTo()
Usage
transform1 .interpolateTo( transform2 , percentage )
Description
3D
transform
method; modifies
transform1
by interpolating from the position and rotation
of
transform1
to the position and rotation of a new transform by a specified percentage. The
original
transform1
is changed. To interpolate a copy of
transform1
, use the
interpolate()
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
transform2
Required. Specifies the transform to which a given transform is interpolated.
percentage
Required. Specifies the rotation percentage of
transform2
.
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
tBox.interpolateTo(tSphere, 50)
