The process of developing the actions (poses, timing, motion) of objects. Maya offers several animation methods, including keyframe animation, path animation, nonlinear character animation, and motion capture animation.
Industry:Software
In post-production video and film recording, the setup of a videotape recorder to record a single frame at a time. An animation controller is useful to guarantee real-time recording of data submitted from a computer.
Maya provides its own set of animation controls for developing the timing of animations.
Industry:Software
A tool that lets you create and blend multiple levels of animation in a scene.
Industry:Software
A group of over-sampling methods for avoiding the unwanted visual effects or artifacts caused by limited display resolution. These aliasing effects include jaggies (staircasing along diagonal lines), moiré effects (checkerboards), and temporal aliasing (strobing) in animated scenes.
Maya provides various solutions for edge aliasing and for shading aliasing. Some anti-aliasing techniques reduce performance, and will increase render times. Try to find the solution that gives you the best balance between image quality and performance.
Industry:Software
In photography, the size of hole allowing light from the lens to get through to the film. The aperture works in conjunction with the shutter to determine the amount of light that reaches the film.
In Maya, aperture effects are simulated by camera settings such as filmback and filmgate.
Industry:Software
Application Programming Interface. In Maya, refers to a set of C++ classes that provide internal access to Maya tools. The API is packaged as a set of OpenMaya libraries corresponding to the different functional areas of Maya.
Industry:Software
A type of light source that emits light from a two-dimensional area. A larger area light has a stronger intensity.
Industry:Software
In Maya Fur, the distribution of hairs, defined by the fur density that places hairs evenly over all surfaces that have the fur description attached.
When you disable this option, the hairs defined by the fur density are distributed per surface. For example, if you have a fur description with a density of 1000 attached to 10 surfaces and this option is enabled, the 1000 hairs will be distributed evenly across all 10 surfaces. If this option is disabled, each of the 10 surfaces will have 1000 hairs.
Industry:Software
A set of tools that use an intuitive paint and sculpting-based interface to accomplish a variety of modeling, animation, rendering, and effects tasks that deliver high quality and enable otherwise complex results in minimal time.
