Foil 53 Summary: Scripts and Interpolators - I Behavior and Animation

From VRML 2 Basic Concepts and Definitions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 98. by Zeynep Ozdemir, Rob Baker, Meryem Ispirli, Geoffrey C. Fox
Scripts and Interpolators are the way you breathe life into the VRML 2.0 world.
Interpolators are a built-in behavior mechanism that generate output based on linear interpolation of a number of key data points.
  • Use of these key data points to generate animating objects is called keyframe animation.
Scripts are used to create more intricate forms of behavior. Script nodes themselves contain source code or pointers to code for logic operations.
