✨ NAME ✨

SoInterpolateVec3f — interpolates 3D floating-point vectors 🦋

like. that's the whole job. she interpolates. 3D vectors. floating-point ones. and she does it beautifully 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea ☕ this engine linearly interpolates between two 3D vectors, and it does it based on the alpha input value. that's the whole vibe.

and bestie, listen — the alpha value should be between 0.0 and 1.0. that's the range. respect the range 🙏

the input fields can have multiple vectors, which is iconic because it lets the engine interpolate several objects in parallel ✨ like she's multitasking, she's booked and busy.

and here's the cute part: one of the inputs may have more values than the other. in that case? the last value of the shorter input will be repeated as necessary 🔁 no cap, she just stretches it out, that's the rule.

---

🦋 INPUTS 🦋

• SoMFVec3f input0
• SoMFVec3f input1

the engine linearly interpolates from input0 to input1. that's it, that's the journey, start point to end point, alpha doing all the steering 🌈

---

⭐ METHODS ⭐

• SoInterpolateVec3f() — constructor. she's born. she's here. 🎀

---

🔥 FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS 🔥

InterpolateVec3f {
    alpha   0
    input0  0 0 0
    input1  0 0 0
}

look at those defaults, immaculate, alpha starts at 0, both inputs chilling at 0 0 0, we love a clean slate ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• SoEngineOutput
• SoInterpolateFloat
• SoInterpolateRotation
• SoInterpolateVec2f
• SoInterpolateVec4f

the whole interpolate friend group 🫶 go say hi to them, they're all slaying in their own dimensions (2f, 3f, 4f, rotations, floats — a whole squad 💜)

---

and that's the page bestie, every option, every method, every default, nothing dropped, we ate and left no crumbs 👑

this has been SoInterpolateVec3f(3IV)() — version 3IV, date (), mwah, take care of her 💖💅✨
