Interpolation

Mesh sequence

The use of shape keys lets you to interpolate the animation of the mesh.

Important

Vertex colors are automatically linearly interpolated according to shape keys positions.

Here is how you can do it:

Select meshes you want to interpolate in the sequence object

Place the time cursor where you want to "center" the Interpolation

Then, hit s and scale the interpolation moving the mouse

Once you are satisfied, press the left mouse button

You can change the type of the interpolation in the Graph editor:

With meshes selected, open the graph editor

Select the keyframes you want to edit

Press the right mouse button in the editor and choose a new interpolation mode

It's done!

Streaming sequence

A streaming sequence does not use shape keys, so we can't use the same method as for mesh sequences. However, you can still interpolate the animation of the mesh using our custom tool:

Important

Vertex colors are interpolated using the same settings.

In the streaming sequence settings panel, select an interpolation method.

Then, indicate the number of time steps to add between each time point.

You're done! Interpolated points should now be generated on the fly, when changing frame in the timeline.
