computer generate the frames between certain points

This is called 'keyframe' animation.

Blender uses bezier curve keyframe interpolation by default - for info about how to manipulate those curves in the IPO Curve Editor window of blender, see here.

Note that that's a huge leap into semi-pro territory, you may want to start with simpler tutorials if you've got no clue about animation basics.

If you've chosen blender and have questions because it confuses the hell out of you, ask.
