okay bestie, welcome to the SoInterpolateVec2f(3IV) page — yes that's the manual name, she's from the 3IV set, and she is literally the girl who knows how to blend two 2D vectors together. no cap. let's go 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this engine linearly interpolates between two 2D vectors, and it does it based on the alpha input value. and the alpha value should be between 0.0 and 1.0. that's the range, bestie, respect the range 💅

now the fun part: the input fields can have multiple vectors, which means the engine can interpolate several objects in parallel. multitasking queen 👑

and here's a lil detail that matters: one of the inputs may have more values than the other. when that happens? the last value of the shorter input gets repeated as necessary. she's just gonna keep recycling that last one until everyone's caught up. iconic behaviour honestly 🫶

---

🌈 INPUTS 🌈

• SoMFVec2f input0
• SoMFVec2f input1

the engine linearly interpolates from input0 to input1. that's the whole journey, start to finish, no detours 🚗✨

---

🧚 METHODS 🧚

• SoInterpolateVec2f() — constructor. she's born. that's it, that's the method 💖

---

🎀 FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS 🎀

here's exactly what she looks like written out, verbatim, don't touch:

InterpolateVec2f {
    alpha   0
    input0  0 0
    input1  0 0
}

and that's the whole page bestie, no notes 💅 this was the SoInterpolateVec2f(3IV)() manual, straight from the 3IV source/version tag — so if you see SoInterpolateVec2f(3IV)() floating around anywhere, that's her signature, that's the stamp, that's the vibe check passed ✅ mwah, go interpolate something 🦋💖
