Implementation

I coded up a nifty little program that reads in AMC files with given skipped frame and allows user to interpolate between the frames with four modes:

1. Linear interpolation for Euler angles
2. Bezier interpolation for Euler angles
3. Linear interpolation for Quaternions
4. Bezier interpolation for Quaternions

I had a blast coding this up. Dealing with Euler angles and Quaternions can be a mind-bender, but seeing those smooth transitions makes it all worth it. Plus, I learned a ton about the nuances of different interpolation methods and their effects on 3D animations.

Demo

Below are some results where the original motion is in red and the interpolated result is in green.
