An Autodesk character and animation software application that is compatible with Maya.
Industry:Software
In animation, the case where an object displays different motion effects in situations that are identical except that the object has been previously manipulated or animated. For example, an object is motion history dependent if, when you animate the object and run the animation in a loop, the object ends up moving in slightly different ways at the same frame in each loop. By contrast, if the object moves in exactly the same way during each loop, then the object is motion history independent. Motion history dependence effects can be a problem if you want predictable motion effects, but an advantage if you want unpredictable motion effects.
Industry:Software
In animation, the use of a curve to control the motion of an object.
Industry:Software
In animation, the modification of an object’s motion with the addition of new keys.
Industry:Software
In dynamics, a render type that displays each particle as multiple points. The extra points make the particle object appear denser. Use this render type to create dust, clouds, mist, or other gaseous emissions.
Industry:Software
A render type that is a combination of streak and multiPoint render types. It displays multiple points with tails for each moving particle. The faster the particles move, the longer the tails.
Industry:Software
The disabling of animation on a selected channel without removing the animation curve from the Graph Editor.
Industry:Software
The conversion of a displacement map to polygons, required for rendering.
Industry:Software
The action of moving the camera toward or away from its center of interest. The scene in the camera’s view becomes larger or smaller, and the relative size of objects in the scene changes based on their distance from the camera.
Industry:Software
A piece of hardware that attaches to a computer that provides a method of licensing Maya. The advantage of the dongle is it allows you to easily move your license from one computer to another. The disadvantage of a dongle is that it is only available on the Windows platform and only works on a parallel port. Also, if you lose a dongle, you have lost your Maya software and must purchase another copy of Maya to get it replaced. Also known as hardware lock.
