How to Use Lerp (Unity Tutorial)

In this Unity game development tutorial we're going to look at the mathematical function, Lerp, or linear interpolation.

This function allows us to linearly interpolate between two values, and is most commonly used for changing values over a period of time.

While its usage is really common in Unity, it's quite often misunderstood, and can easily be used in the wrong way.

00:25 - Using Lerp the correct way
03:20 - Common incorrect usage of Lerp
04:32 - Using Lerp for non linear interpolation

Fantastic video! I like that you said there was a wrong way to lerp and then showed why!

thumbed up! This is gold! I have been struggling with moving an object to a waypoint because I was using Lerp incorrectly and wondering why it would never reach it's exact destination.. Hours I have spent on this only to stumble across this gem of a video. Outstanding explanation.. I should have come here first!! LOL Will definitely be checking out your other videos..
