CAD

skinning

Software; CAD

In animation, the process of binding deformable objects to a skeleton. The surface of a character after that surface is bound to the character’s skeleton is called the skin. It is important that a ...

rolling effect

Software; CAD

In animation, the rapid rotation of a constrained object about its aim vector. This is usually an undesirable effect, and can be prevented by moving or animating the world up vector.

rigid body constraint

Software; CAD

In dynamics, a constraint that restricts the motion of rigid bodies. These constraints simulate the behavior of real-world items such as pins, nails, barriers, hinges, and springs.

spring constraint

Software; CAD

In dynamics, a constraint that simulates an elastic cord. Use spring constraints to create effects such as a man bungee-jumping off a building.

rigid body

Software; CAD

In dynamics, a polygonal or NURBS surface converted to an unyielding shape. Rigid bodies collide rather than pass through each other during animation.

soft body

Software; CAD

In dynamics, a polygonal surface, NURBS surface, NURBS curve, lattice, wire, or wrap deformer that bends and deforms when influenced by a field or struck by a collision object.

rotoscoping

Software; CAD

A process that lets you view digitized video in real time, so that you can synchronize each frame in an animation to a digitized background.
