SOINTERPOLATEROTATION(3iv)

✨ SoInterpolateRotation(3IV) — no wait bestie, that's just the header 💅

Okay so real talk, this is the manual page for SoInterpolateRotation from the 3IV manual set, and it's literally the little engine that could when it comes to spinning things smoothly. Buckle up, it's giving rotation energy 🌈

🎀 DESCRIPTION

Okay so here's the vibe: this engine linearly interpolates between two rotation values, and it does it based on the alpha input value. The alpha value should be between 0.0 and 1.0. That's the whole deal. Zero to one, baby, no cap.

The input fields can have multiple rotations, which means the engine can interpolate several objects in parallel. Multi-tasking queen behavior 💅

One of the inputs may have more values than the other. In that case — and this is the important bit — the last value of the shorter input will be repeated as necessary. So the short one just keeps showing up like "hey, still me, still here" 🙈

---

🌟 INPUTS

• SoMFRotation input0
• SoMFRotation input1

The engine linearly interpolates from input0 to input1. Start point, end point, slay. ✨

---

💜 METHODS

• SoInterpolateRotation() — Constructor. She's born. Iconic.

---

🔥 FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

InterpolateRotation {
    alpha   0
    input0  0 0 1  0
    input1  0 0 1  0
}

Look at those defaults just sitting there, all zeroed out and cozy 🍓

Go read those too, bestie, the whole squad is valid 💖

Lowkey the most important thing: every option, default, and method above is exactly as it appears in the source. I'm just the messenger with better vibes 💅
