Motion interpolation (computer graphics)
open-in-new
<p>Motion interpolation is a programming technique in data-driven <a href="/facts/Character_animation/MpYsvKQk">character animation</a> that creates transitions between example motions and extrapolates new motions. </p><p>Example motions are often created through <a href="/facts/Keyframing/SeHhpINL">keyframing</a> or <a href="/facts/Motion_capture/vy5ab34S">motion capture</a>. However, keyframing is labor-intensive and lacks varieties of motion, and both processes result in motions that are time-consuming to alter. Motion interpolation provides a much faster alternative to creating new motions through the same means. </p>
