Talk:Slerp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please do not change "Slerp" to "slerp"; the initial capital is correct, regardless of what you may see elsewhere. Here's how Slerp appeared in print for the first time:
- "A formula for spherical linear interpolation from q1 to q2, with parameter u moving from 0 to 1, can be obtained two different ways. From the group structure we find
-
Slerp(q1,q2;u) = q1(q1−1q2)u ;
- while from the 4-D geometry comes …"
Also do not change "animating rotation" to "animating rotations"; compare to the title of the original paper (also sometimes cited incorrectly).

[edit] Mathematics category
Editors tempted to delete the mathematics categorization should first study the content. There is more to mathematics than cohomology and modular forms, eh? This article draws on quaternions, differential geometry, Lie groups, and other advanced material. At most, it could be degraded to mere Applied Mathematics… ;-) KSmrq 10:50, 2005 August 15 (UTC)
- Absurd. WP has more than ten thousand articles on mathematics. It is possible to categorize. linas 15:25, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
