Välipikseleitä

Välipikseleitä, a Finnish term, translates to "intermediate pixels" or "in-between pixels." It refers to the concept of generating frames between two existing frames in an animation sequence to create the illusion of smooth motion. This process is commonly known as interpolation in animation and computer graphics.

Traditionally, animators would manually draw these intermediate frames, a labor-intensive task that required significant skill and time. Modern animation software and algorithms can automate this process to a large extent. By analyzing the starting and ending frames of a motion, the software can calculate and generate the frames that lie between them, thus producing fluid and realistic movement. This technique is crucial for achieving high frame rates and a more natural visual experience in animated films, video games, and other digital media. The quality of välipikseleitä generation depends on the sophistication of the algorithms used and the complexity of the motion being interpolated.
