How do you interpolate in 3D?
3D Point Interpolation
Given two distinct points in 3D space, P0 = (x0, y0, z0) and P1 = (x1, y1, z1), describe how to compute an interpolated point P_t that lies on the line segment connecting P0 and P1.
Your explanation must include:
- A clear definition of the interpolation parameter.
- The mathematical formula for computing
P_t. - An explanation of the geometric meaning of the interpolation parameter and the resulting point.
- A description of the behavior of the interpolated point when the parameter falls outside its typical
[0, 1]range.
