Technology for rigging and posing characters from Autodesk® MotionBuilder®.
Industry:Software
A window that shows the graphical relationship between nodes and their connections in a scene. The Hypergraph shows either a DAG or a dependency graph. Also known as delete modifiers, schematic view, tree view, or object manager.
Industry:Software
A window where you can create, edit, and connect rendering nodes, such as textures, materials, lights, rendering utilities, and special effects.
Hypershade displays each node as an icon (or swatch) representing the characteristics of the node. When you edit node attributes or assign textures or special effects, the swatch updates to visually reflect these changes. Also known as material editor, VOP editor (shading context), or surface editor.
Industry:Software
A generic structured file access mechanism used by Maya to output bitmap images, viewed using Fcheck.
Industry:Software
A file format for transferring graphics data between CAD/CAM systems.

In animation, a method of posing a joint chain by specifying the location in space you want the joint chain to reach.
IK is the easiest way to position the end of a joint chain on a particular object or point in space, because you don’t have to define how each joint needs to rotate. IK requires IK handles and IK solvers, special tools for posing and animating.
Industry:Software
In animation, a tool for posing joint chains. An IK handle resembles a wire running through a joint chain, and enables you to pose the entire joint chain in one action. As you pose and animate the joint chain, its IK handle automatically figures out how to rotate all the joints in the joint chain using an IK solver.
Types of IK handles include the IK rotate plane handle, IK single chain handle, IK two bone handle, and IK spline handle.
Industry:Software
In animation, the use of IK handles to pose joint chains. The effect of each IK handle on its joint chain depends on the type of IK solver being used.
