Interpolation component

This component defines nodes to interpolate between a given set of values. Interpolators are often used for animation, receiving time values from TimeSensor and sending interpolated values to visible nodes.

Contents:

Supported nodes
TODOs

1. Supported nodes

ColorInterpolator, PositionInterpolator, PositionInterpolator2D, ScalarInterpolator, OrientationInterpolator

CoordinateInterpolator, CoordinateInterpolator2D, NormalInterpolator

Interpolation of OrientationInterpolator correctly goes through the shortest path on the unit sphere, with constant velocity.

Interpolation of ColorInterpolator correctly interpolates in HSV space.

TODO: Interpolation of NormalInterpolator simply interpolates 3D vectors (and normalizes afterwards), instead of a nice interpolation on the unit sphere.

2. TODOs

TODO: EaseInEaseOut, Spline*, SquadOrientationInterpolator missing.
