Industry:Software
In rendering, a light that shines evenly in one direction only. Its light rays are parallel to each other, as if emitted perpendicular to an infinitely large plane. Use a directional light to simulate a very distant point light source (for example, the sun). Also known as infinite light.
Industry:Software
In dynamics, a particle emitter that emits particles only in a specified direction.
Industry:Software
In rendering, the simulation of 3-dimensional surface detail effects by altering the surface of the geometry. Displacement occurs along the surface normals according to the intensity of the pixels in the texture map. A displacement map is useful if objects will be viewed in silhouette, but takes longer to render than a bump map due to the complex surface detail being created.
Industry:Software
In rendering, a description of what an object looks like when it is rendered with a displacement map. The displacement material lets you use an image to specify surface relief on objects in your scene.
Industry:Software
A particular position in world space, marked by a small gnomon whose lines extend in each direction along the X, Y and Z axes. Also known as dummy object.
Industry:Software
In modeling, a series of splines that define the shape of an object, then can be lofted together to form a surface.
An analogy is to boat building, where a skeleton of ribs is built, then covered by planks or metal sheets to form the hull. Also known as cross section and surface modifiers surface or skinning, or may refer to extrude.
Industry:Software
A visual and interactive tool for changing an object's attributes. Many Maya tools provide manipulators for you to directly position and scale objects in the workspace. Also known as manip.
Industry:Software
A subset of menu choices that appear around the current cursor position, providing quick access to a few of the most commonly used tools for the particular chosen object.
