Parameters

outA
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Quaternion%
A Quaternion structure, passed by reference, that represents outA.

outB
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Quaternion%
A Quaternion structure, passed by reference, that represents outB.

outC
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Quaternion%
A Quaternion structure, passed by reference, that represents outC.

q0
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Quaternion
A Quaternion structure that represents the q0 input control point.

q1
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Quaternion
A Quaternion structure that represents the q1 input control point.

q2
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Quaternion
A Quaternion structure that represents the q2 input control point.

q3
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Quaternion
A Quaternion structure that represents the q3 input control point.

Remarks

This method takes four control points, which are supplied to the inputs q0, q1, q2, and q3 and alters their values to find a curve that flows along the shortest path. The values of q0, q2, and q3 are calculated as shown below.

q0 = |q0 + q1|

Having calculated the new q values, the values for outA, outB, and outC are calculated as shown below.

outA = q1 * exp[–0.25 *( Ln[Exp(q1)*q2] + Ln[Exp(q1)*q0] ) ]

outB = q2 * exp[–0.25 *( Ln[Exp(q2)*q3] + Ln[Exp(q2)*q1] ) ]

outC = q2

The preceding examples use the Ln and Exp methods.
