In rendering, a description of what an object looks like when it is rendered. Also known as shader.
Industry:Software
In general, an array of interconnected attributes. These attributes are combined to create one single entity.
Industry:Software
In rendering, information that defines the transparency of each pixel (opaque, partly transparent, completely transparent). The unused pixels of an image (black space) have a completely transparent matte.
Industry:Software
An integrated plug-in renderer that allows interactive and batch mental ray rendering from within the Maya user interface. Mental ray offers all the features traditionally expected of photorealistic rendering, and includes functionality not found in most rendering software, such as host and network parallel rendering, area light sources for soft shadows, global illumination, and caustics (light patterns).
Industry:Software
In Paint Effects, a type of brush that renders paint effects with triangulated mesh tubes rather than brush stamps, resulting in accurate conical geometry with textures that correctly map to the surface. The mesh brush is useful for rendering flat surfaces more accurately, for creating more convincing Paint Effects trees and plants, and for creating hard-edged geometry such as buildings.
Industry:Software
A computer-based description and representation of a three-dimensional object. Models can be created with modeling software tools, 3D digitizers, etc.
Industry:Software
In rendering, the simulation of the blurring that occurs when a fast-moving surface is captured by a camera.
