CAD

Utility node

Software; CAD

A node that allows the creation of specific shading effects, most commonly used in shading networks. Render utility nodes are created from the Hypershade window.

UV lattice

Software; CAD

In UV modeling, a tool letting you edit the layout of numerous UVs at a time with a 2D lattice deformer, thereby giving you a high level of control over your UVs.

Twist deformer

Software; CAD

In animation, a deformer that twists a deformable object about an axis. Twist deformers are useful for both character setup and modeling.

A pair of nodes that are automatically created by Maya for a shape node. When you create a curve on a NURBS surface, Maya generates an underworld transform node and shape node below the shape node of ...

Unfold UVs

Software; CAD

In polygonal modeling, a feature that lets you unwrap the UV mesh for a polygonal object with minimal overlapping of UVs. Unfold UVs helps to minimise the distortion of texture maps on organic ...

Uniform field

Software; CAD

In dynamics, a field that pushes objects in a uniform magnitude and direction.

Universal joint

Software; CAD

In animation, a joint that can rotate only about any two of its local axes. A human wrist is a good example of a universal joint (although a wrist has limitations on the extent it can rotate).
