CAD

joint chain plane indicator

Software; CAD

In animation, an indicator of the orientation of a joint chain plane relative to the reference plane. It can be thought of as the shadow of the joint chain plane in the rotation disc.

joint cluster flexor

Software; CAD

In animation, a deformer based on a cluster deformer that provides weighted deformation control around joints.

joint lattice flexor

Software; CAD

In animation, a deformer based on a lattice deformer that provides smoothing effects around joints.

joint sculpt flexor

Software; CAD

In animation, a deformer based on a sculpt deformer that provides rounded deformation effects around joints.

key

Software; CAD

In animation, the assignment of a particular set of values to an object’s attributes (for example, translate, rotate, scale, color, and so on) at a specific time (or frame).

kinematics

Software; CAD

In animation, a method of simulating body mechanics by setting up and animating skeletons. The two main types of kinematics are forward kinematics (FK), and inverse kinematics (IK).

dependency graph (DG)

Software; CAD

A graphical representation of the relationships between connected nodes, viewable from the Hypergraph window. For any particular node, the dependency graph shows the node’s history, including all ...
