Vector Lerp

Functionality

This node’s primary function is to perform the linear interpolation between two Vectors, or streams of Vectors. If we have two Vectors A and B, and a factor 0.5, then the output of the node will be a Vector exactly half way on the imaginary finite-line between A and B. Values beyond 1.0 or lower than 0.0 will be extrapolated to beyond the line A-B.

Inputs

Vector Evaluate needs two Vertex stream inputs (each containing 1 or more vertices). If one list is shorter than the other then the shortest stream is extended to match the length of the longer stream by repeating the last valid vector found in the shorter stream.

Parameters

Type

Default

Description

mode

Enum

Lerp

Lerp will linear interpolate once between

each corresponding Vector

Evaluate will repeatedly interpolate

between each member of vectors A and B for

all items in Factor input (see example)

Vertex A

Vector

None

first group of vertices (Stream)

Vertex B

Vector

None

second group of vertices (Stream)

Factor

Float

0.50

distance ratio between vertices A and B.

values outside of the 0.0…1.0 range are

extrapolated on the infinite line A, B

Outputs

The content of EvPoint depends on the current mode of the node, but it will always be a list (or multiple lists) of Vectors.
