In Maya Classic Cloth and Maya nCloth, a collection of seamed panels. A garment is represented by a poly mesh that is the cloth object.
Industry:Software
In general, a NURBS surface, NURBS curve, subdivision surface, or polygonal surface (mesh).
Industry:Software
Geometry caches are special Maya files that store vertex transformation data. They are useful when you want to reduce the number of calculations Maya performs when playing back or rendering scenes that contain many deforming objects, and they allow you to easily mix and edit your object’s deformations in an intuitive, nonlinear manner.
Industry:Software
In animation, a constraint that restricts an object to a NURBS surface, NURBS curve, subdivision surface or polygonal surface (mesh). To orient the constrained object relative to the surface of the target objects, use a normal constraint as well.
Industry:Software
The simulation of a technique in classical animation where an animator rapidly flips through a handful of cell drawings to get a feel for the timing of the action he is working on. Ghosting is useful to sketch out and visualize the flow of a character's motion through an animation, and to solve problems with the timing of that motion.
Industry:Software
In animation, a situation where one rotational axis is placed over another, causing the two axes to lead to the same result when animated. To avoid gimbal lock, either quaternion rotation must be used instead of Euler rotation, or a node must be provided for each rotational axis.
Industry:Software
In rendering, the simulation of a bright, fuzzy disk at the location of a light source. You can also control how the glow from one surface affects the intensity of another's surface glow, or create illuminated fog for a particular light.
Industry:Software
Axial-shaped icons typically provided by Maya for moving the end of joints and other objects.
Industry:Software
In dynamics, an object that particles follow or move towards. Goals are useful to give trailing particles a flowing motion that’s hard to generate with other animation techniques.
Industry:Software
A window for editing animation curves. Also known as track view (function curves mode), f-curve view or channel editor (graphics mode).
