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 polygon meshes by optimising the position of the UV coordinates so they more closely reflect the original polygon mesh.
Industry:Software
In dynamics, a field that pushes objects in a uniform magnitude and direction.
Industry:Software
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).
Industry:Software
A tool that combines the functions of the Move Tool, Rotate Tool, and Scale Tool. It also lets you enter precise values to scale and rotate objects directly in the scene view.
Industry:Software
The global axis that is pointing upwards. By default, the up axis is the Y axis.
Industry:Software
In animation, a vector that works with the aim vector to control the orientation of a constrained object. By default, the up vector tries to stay as closely aligned as possible to the world up vector. Also known as pole vector.
Industry:Software
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.
Industry:Software
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.
Industry:Software
A particular texture that can be applied to an object. UV sets are required in multitexturing, when different textures, each with a different UV layer, need to be applied to a surface. For example, if you create a brick wall and want to layer spray paint on top, you can use one texture for the bricks and one texture for the paint using a layered texture.
Industry:Software
In UV modeling, a tool that lets you drag or smudge the layout of UVs, thereby providing a more artistic and free-form way of manipulating the layout of UVs.
