slerpv() VEX Function [Spherical Linear Interpolation for Vectors]
Houdini 20 has a new slerp function in VEX.
SLERP, or Spherical Linear Interpolation, is a term commonly used in computer graphics and animation, particularly in the context of rotations. It refers to a method for interpolating between two orientations, represented as quaternions, in a way that produces a constant angular velocity and a smooth rotational motion.
This method ensures that the interpolation occurs over the shortest path on a 4D sphere (since quaternions are 4D vectors). The result is a smooth and uniform rotation from one orientation to another.
