Aras Pranckevičius@acegikmo excellent talk and presentation as usual! And while not exact same curve, yours is way easier to use than Unity’s Mathf.SmoothDamp
@aras hah, yeah! I wanted to talk about smoothDamp and spring physics so bad but I couldn't fit it into the limited time ;-;
it's super fascinating comparing them side by side both mathematically and practically. like you say, using my expDecay function is easier because you don't need to track velocity as a state, but the nice thing with SmoothDamp is that it has one degree higher continuity (but now you need to keep a velocity state around)
teadrinker@aras @acegikmo
My impression is that the Unity SmoothDamp seem like a general function, but in practice is mostly useful for UI scrolling implementations. The way it "prevents overshooting" makes it unreliable for general smoothing.
(red = SmoothDamp, green = basic 12db filter, aka Lerp Smoothing Twice)
