Camera jitter when using Lerp/Slerp

Questions & Answers
1

I know similar questions have been asked already but I’ve been through almost all of them and none of the solutions seem to work for me. Basically I have a camera that pans to a predefined location when the mouse button is clicked, which works fine minus the somewhat subtle jitter.

  static var cameraPosition : int;

function Update () {
	if (cameraPosition == 1) {
		transform.position = Vector3.Slerp (transform.position, target.transform.position, Time.deltaTime);
		transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (transform.rotation, target.transform.rotation, Time.deltaTime);
	}
}

I’ve tried used function FixedUpdate and replacing Time.deltaTime with 1 - Mathf.Exp(-k * Time.deltaTime) but to no avail. The jitter exists for both the rotation and position. Any ideas?

I think the jitter comes from the fact that you are always sending it essentially random (based on frame time) values to the Slerp() functions, which expect between 0 - 1 indicating the proper interpolation between the 2 extremes, not a time value.
