FK posing

Software; CAD

In animation, a direct movement and rotation of joints, without the use of IK handles.

forward kinematics (FK)

Software; CAD

In animation, a method for posing a joint chain by rotating each joint individually. FK is the easiest way to animate joint chains with detailed arc motions.

euler rotation

Software; CAD

In animation, a method of rotation that uses three angle values (X, Y and Z) plus a rotation order to specify three-dimensional orientation. Euler rotation has several drawbacks, ...

frame range

Software; CAD

In animation, a set of contiguous frames.

flexor

Software; CAD

In animation, a special deformer designed to improve and enhance the effects of rigid skinning. Types of flexors include bone lattice flexor, bone sculpt flexor, joint cluster ...

expression

Software; CAD

In animation, an instruction that controls keyable attributes over time. Expressions can be comprised of mathematical equations, conditional statements, or MEL commands.

emitter

Software; CAD

In dynamics, an object that generates moving or stationary particles while an animation plays. Emitters are useful for producing smoke, fire, fireworks, rain, and similar effects. ...
