In rendering, the simulation of self-illuminating or glowing objects (for example, the glow from stars or the moon). Glow attributes define the type of glow as produced either from light reflecting off a surface or from surface incandescence.
Industry:Software
In the Transfer Maps tool, a user-editable piece of geometry defining the search volume or threshold between target and source surfaces for texture maps (including normal maps, diffuse colour maps, displacement maps, and lit and shaded maps). These texture maps are generated by the Transfer Maps tool ( Lighting/Shading > Transfer Maps). In other words, a search envelope is a copy of the target mesh that you can scale up or down to include or exclude parts of your source meshes from the mapping process.
Industry:Software
Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha. Three additive colour components used to create any colour by mixing, along with an extra component called Alpha that is used to indicate transparency.
Industry:Software
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers time code. In film and video compositing, a method of denoting hours, minutes, seconds, and frames on videotape so that individual frames can be accessed. SMPTE time code is used with NTSC video. Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) is a type of SMPTE time code.
Industry:Software
The application of paint onto a screen as if cinematic film were being projected. Paint appears where the projection strikes the surface.
Industry:Software
The order in which an object can rotate about its axes. Each rotation order provides a different type of movement. For example, an object could rotate first about its X axis, then its Y axis, and finally its Z axis.
Industry:Software
The perspective, top, front, or side view modelling panels where work is performed. Also known as modelling view or workspace.
Industry:Software
The position of a character at the start of an animation. Note that before an animation starts, a character must be moved from dress-up pose to start pose, to allow the cloth solver to calculate the collisions and motion of the cloth.
Industry:Software
The property of a surface that causes scattering as light reflects off of it.
