Re: [Algorithms] Smooth movement of camera along a path

[Jamie F. <j.f...@re...>]

Easiest spline to use for this is Catmull Rom, which if I remember
correctly allows you to keyframe the way you want to.

For a Java link, try

http://www.media.mit.edu/~rich/research/java/docs/acg.stuttgart.rich.spline.CatmullRomSplineLoop3D.html

I've no idea how good it is, I was only searching to remind myself of
the name :)
