Company Profile:
Textures that can be used to create rough, bumpy surfaces. Used as a bump map, they are good for creating effects such as thickly-painted metal. This texture gets its name from "Brownian Motion", the random motion of molecules in a liquid as they bump into one another.
Industry:Software
The area of influence of a brush on a surface. By default, the area is circular, but you can change the brush shape. The characteristics of a brush stamp are defined by its stamp profile. The stamp profile can include characteristics such as brush radius, brush opacity, brush value, and brush shape.
Industry:Software
In modeling, a parametric surface, approximately rectangular in shape, that can be quilted together with other B-spline patches to form a large, curved surface. The shape of a B-spline patch is controlled by 16 control points that can be repositioned, thereby allowing the patch to be reshaped interactively.
Industry:Software
In rendering, the simulation of 3-dimensional surface detail effects by creating the illusion of bumps or other types of surface relief. A bump map does not alter the shape of surfaces to which it is assigned.
Industry:Software
In rendering, the appearance of a surface as bumpy (for example, like the peel of an orange). Bumpy surfaces can be either simulated with a texture, or created by displacing the actual surface of an object.
Industry:Software
A file that stores positions of vertices and other data for Maya simulations such as cloth or fluids. There are three different cache file formats: *particle *hair, fluids, and jiggle *geometry and nCloth Cache files let you quickly preview the results of a simulation without having to render the scene. This offers many benefits, including being able to scrub back and forth in the time slider, and re-using a cache over again.
Industry:Software
In Maya, the method for setting up the view of a scene, especially one that will be rendered. Like a real-world camera, the Maya camera frames the view of a scene by tracking, tumbling, panning, and zooming. Unlike a real-world camera, the Maya camera does not automatically capture lighting, motion blur, and other effects. These effects must be explicitly created, turned on, and in some cases rendered.
Industry:Software
A 2D plane on which colors, patterns, or textures can be painted. A canvas can be used as an independent piece of art, as a background image in a scene, or as a texture applied to a 3D surface.
Industry:Software
A standalone application from nVidia for connecting, viewing and editing shaders. Maya provides a Windows-only plug-in named cgfxShader.mll for editing and viewing CgFX files.
Industry:Software
In polygonal modeling, the removal of a vertex to create a chamfered (cut-off) corner.
