It's just an array of floats from 0.0f to 1.0f, same length as the 'quats' array parameter. Consider them 'keys' for the quats array. As the alpha object produces values from 0.0 to 1.0 the knots values tell, which 2 quats will be used for interpolating the rotation angle. Say, you have 3 quats with rotation 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. When you use a knots array of 0.0f, 0.5f and 1.0f with it you get a constant rotation from 0 to 90 degrees. If you instead use knots 0.0f, 0.9f and 1.0f with the same quats you get a slow rotation from 0 to 45 degrees over 9/10 of the alpha time and in the remaining 1/10 of the time a fast rotation from 45 to 90 degrees. regards Georg ___ ___ | + | |__ Georg Rehfeld Woltmanstr. 12 20097 Hamburg |_|_\ |___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] +49 (40) 23 53 27 10 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
