LERP
Linear Interpolation (LERP) returns a value between two others at a point of linear scale.
Rotation = From + (To - From) × Amount
Input:
- From: The value to transition from.
- To: The value to transition to.
- Amount: How far to transition.
Output:
- Rotation: The value between the From and To input, at a linear scale (defined by Amount input).
Example
The most common use case is to smoothly transition from one rotation to another.
Every frame, the block rotates 5% (0.05) of the way from its initial rotation (0°) towards its goal (90°). Note that it doesn't rotate on a constant speed, it's because the From input changes itself to be the block's current rotation, which means the distance between From and To get's smaller, therefore 5% of the way towards its goal is smaller than what it was in the previous frames.
