Article
02/22/2024

Performs a Hermite spline interpolation, using the specified vectors.

Syntax

XMVECTOR XM_CALLCONV XMVectorHermite(
  [in] FXMVECTOR Position0,
  [in] FXMVECTOR Tangent0,
  [in] FXMVECTOR Position1,
  [in] GXMVECTOR Tangent1,
  [in] float     t
) noexcept;

Parameters

[in] Position0

First position to interpolate from.

[in] Tangent0

Tangent vector for the first position.

[in] Position1

Second position to interpolate from.

[in] Tangent1

Tangent vector for the second position.

[in] t

Interpolation control factor.

Return value

Returns a vector containing the interpolation.

Remarks

The following pseudocode demonstrates the operation of the function:

XMVECTOR Result;

float t2 = t * t;
float t3 = t2* t;

float P0 = 2.0f * t3 - 3.0f * t2 + 1.0f;
float T0 = t3 - 2.0f * t2 + t;
float P1 = -2.0f * t3 + 3.0f * t2;
float T1 = t3 - t2;

Result.x = P0 * Position0.x + T0 * Tangent0.x + P1 * Position1.x + T1 * Tangent1.x;
Result.y = P0 * Position0.y + T0 * Tangent0.y + P1 * Position1.y + T1 * Tangent1.y;
Result.z = P0 * Position0.z + T0 * Tangent0.z + P1 * Position1.z + T1 * Tangent1.z;
Result.w = P0 * Position0.w + T0 * Tangent0.w + P1 * Position1.w + T1 * Tangent1.w;

return Result;
