I have recently updated from 4.2.4 to 4.4.2 and the lerp factor for Fast updates was changed from 0.5 to 0.05. I have failed to find this change in changelog so I am asking if there is a reason behind this change?
Hi Gilderko,
The change of the LERP factor value for Fast updates from 0.5 to 0.05 seems to be tied to a shift in how interpolation for position and rotation is handled in the updated version of Needle Engine. While the specific reason for this modification isn’t explicitly mentioned in the changelog, it often reflects a performance optimization aimed at reducing the speed of interpolations to create smoother movements in networked environments, which can be critical in reducing jitter and improving visual fidelity.
The previous higher value (0.5) may have caused excessively rapid movements that did not reflect the real-time updates accurately, while the new value (0.05) likely aims for a more controlled and gradual transition of these updates, ensuring a smoother visual experience.
If you’re looking for more context or specific discussions about this change, I recommend checking the latest documentation, community forums, or the specific sections in the changelog that may not list every detail. You can also check out the documentation to see if there are any notes regarding interpolation mechanisms.
For your development purposes, try experimenting with the factor value to see if a small tweak can yield the performance and visual smoothness you desire based on your specific use case.
If you want any additional information or need help with specific code examples related to interpolation using Needle Engine, feel free to ask!
