control vertex (CV)

Software; CAD

In modeling, a point that controls the shape of a NURBS curve or surface. It is displayed as a small filled box. Also known as control point.

coordinate system

Software; CAD

A method by which points are located in space.

color per vertex (CPV) rendering

Software; CAD

Uses a color set to apply color to user- selected vertices. Color per vertex rendering can produce rich lighting and color effects, typically much faster than with texture mapping.

crease line

Software; CAD

In toon shading, a type of toon line that forms on polygon edges where the bend angle is greater than a defined value (the Crease Angle Min value). Crease lines are not view dependant. For example, ...
