A specific position in 3D space used as a reference for the transformations of objects, particularly for rotations. Every object (and group of objects) has a pivot point that can be moved relative to the object. Also known as center.
Industry:Software
The smallest controllable segment of a display. Also known as picture element.
Industry:Software
In modeling, a polygon with vertices all lying in the same plane. For example, a tri-polygon is always planar because you cannot bend or twist a polygon with only three vertices describing it.
Industry:Software
In animation, a type of tangent that forces animation curves to respect the positions of keyframes so that maximum and minimum values (hills and valleys) do not extend past the keyframes. Plateau tangents are useful to keep the animation timing exact.
Industry:Software
Shapes where all sides are equal, all angles are the same, and all faces are identical. For example, cubes, tetrahedrons, octahedrons, and so on.
Industry:Software
A window lets you preview an animation quickly. The Playblast process takes a screen grab of the view at each frame, and then plays (blasts) the resulting images to a desktop movie player or the FCheck utility.
Playblast images can be saved either as a movie file or as a sequence of images in various formats. Also similarly known as making preview or linetest.
Industry:Software
For modelling and animation, see control point. In dynamics, a render type that displays particles as points. This is the default render type.
Industry:Software
In animation, a constraint that causes an object to move to and follow the position of an object, or the average position of several objects. This type of constraint is useful for matching the motion of an object to that of other objects. Also known as position constraint.
Industry:Software
A light that illuminates in all directions, radiating from a point in space. For example, a point light can simulate an incandescent light bulb.
