Contributors in CAD

CAD

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 ...

brush stamp

Software; CAD

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 ...

B-spline patch

Software; CAD

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 ...

bump map

Software; CAD

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 ...

bumpiness

Software; CAD

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 ...

cache file

Software; CAD

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 ...

camera

Software; CAD

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 ...
