Radial wrinkle deformer

Software; CAD

In animation, a deformer that wrinkles objects using influence wires that branch from a single point, like spokes on a wheel. The radial wrinkle deformer can only deform single NURBS surfaces.

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.

In dynamics, a render type that displays moving particles with an elongated tail. The streak render type creates the display of objects such as meteors or rain. Streak length is based on the velocity ...

Sphere render type

Software; CAD

In dynamics, a type of rendering that displays particles as opaque spheres. (You cannot display these spheres with transparency.)

Shading

Software; CAD

In general, the difference in colour across a surface due to different surface characteristics and lighting. Shading includes the materials of a surface, and the lighting of a surface.

Spring IK solver

Software; CAD

In IK (inverse kinematics), a method for posing and animating joints with proportional rotations across all joints. Useful when posing and animating limbs that have numerous joints (for example, ...
