A window that lets you select specific file references to be loaded or unloaded when the scene is opened.
Industry:Software
In polygonal modeling, the storing of shading and lighting information from the rendered look of a mesh in its vertex colors.
This lets a simpler display device (such as a console game rendering engine) show the objects as though they were shaded and illuminated without actually having the shading, lights, or textures, and without doing the rendering calculations. Also known as texture baking.
Industry:Software
In film and video production, a location on videotape to which the tape is cued, occurring a few seconds before the in-point. The videotape recorder (VTR) starts from this preroll point to ensure that the tape speed is stable before recording begins.
Industry:Software
A collection of attribute settings that can be saved from one node and reapplied to any number of other nodes.
Industry:Software
A simple shape that can be molded or expanded to add more detail. Primitives include spheres, cubes, cylinders, cones, planes, and toruses.
Industry:Software
A texture that is calculated based on some algorithm or mathematical formula.
Industry:Software
In modeling, a curve that determines the cross-sectional shape of an extrusion.
Industry:Software
In toon shading, a type of toon line that shows the outside edge (silhouette) of an object, or that point where the object turns to be facing away from the view.
Industry:Software
A technique of projecting a 2D image onto 3D geometry, useful for creating textures or icons on a rendered object.
Industry:Software
The substitution of one or more alternate file references for a given file reference, by creating a set of possible substitute file references known as proxies. Proxy references help to manage complex scenes. They are normally simplified versions of an existing file reference that a user can create to visually or spatially stand in for the existing file reference, thereby allowing production work to proceed without the overhead of the complex components of the original file reference.
