In animation, a window where animation sequences (clips) can be positioned, scaled, cycled and mixed.
Industry:Software
To remove or make invisible a portion of a NURBS surface defined by a curve-on-surface.
Industry:Software
In dynamics, a type of Newton field that causes irregularities in the motion of affected objects. These irregularities are also called noise or jitter. Combine turbulence with other fields to mimic the random motion in liquid or gaseous mediums such as water and air.
Industry:Software
In animation, the activity of moving or setting keys on individual points of an object. Tweaking is useful to avoid unexpected effects caused by deformers. Also known as point tweaking.
Industry:Software
In animation, a deformer that twists a deformable object about an axis. Twist deformers are useful for both character setup and modeling.
Industry:Software
A pair of nodes that are automatically created by Maya for a shape node. When you create a curve on a NURBS surface, Maya generates an underworld transform node and shape node below the shape node of the surface. An example of an underworld node is a curve-on-surface. The CV positions of underworld nodes have UV coordinates on the surface rather than coordinates in world or local space.
Industry:Software
In polygonal modeling, a feature that lets you unwrap the UV mesh for a polygonal object with minimal overlapping of UVs. Unfold UVs helps to minimize the distortion of texture maps on organic polygon meshes by optimizing the position of the UV coordinates so they more closely reflect the original polygon mesh.
Industry:Software
In dynamics, a field that pushes objects in a uniform magnitude and direction.
Industry:Software
In animation, a joint that can rotate only about any two of its local axes. A human wrist is a good example of a universal joint (although a wrist has limitations on the extent it can rotate).
Industry:Software
A tool that combines the functions of the Move Tool, Rotate Tool, and Scale Tool. It also lets you enter precise values to scale and rotate objects directly in the scene view.
