Questions tagged [interpolation]
Interpolation is the process of estimating the value of a function based on known values. In 3D animation it is the method used for calculating the in-between positions when animating a character moving between two poses. Blender also uses interpolation for generating geometry and other purposes. Use this tag for questions related to any of the uses of Interpolation in Blender.
