Abstract
This paper presents a new method for using cubic interpolating splines in a key frame animation system. Three control parameters allow the animator to change the tension, continuity, and bias of the splines. Each of these three parameters can be used for either local or global control. Our technique produces a very general class of interpolating cubic splines which includes the cardinal splines as a proper subset.Keywords
