A 3D modeling technique that simulates the process of sculpting physical materials like clay.

A modeling operation that creates a softened edge by adding extra geometry around an edge or vertex.

An algorithm used in 3D animation that calculates the position of limbs to reach a certain point without manually setting each joint.

A method of creating a smooth surface by recursively subdividing faces of a mesh to add detail and curvature.

A flat surface enclosed by edges, typically forming a triangle or quadrilateral, that makes up a 3D model.

A collection of vertices, edges, and faces that defines the shape of a 3D object.

The process of generating a photorealistic or non-photorealistic image from a 3D model by computing light interaction and other effects.

A technique used to manage the complexity of a 3D model by adjusting the number of polygons based on its distance from the camera.

A program that tells a computer how to draw something in a specific and unique way, especially in terms of light and color.

A rendering technique that simulates the physical behavior of light to achieve photorealistic images.

A modeling technique where a face or edge is extended outwards from a model, creating new faces along the direction of extrusion.

A straight line that connects two vertices in a 3D shape or model.

An image mapped onto the surface of a 3D model to give it color, pattern, or surface detail.

Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines, a type of mathematical model that represents curves and surfaces in 3D space.

A single point defined by coordinates in 3D space, used as the basic unit of 3D models.

The process of creating a skeleton or structure to give a 3D model mobility for animation.

A texture that simulates surface bumps and wrinkles without modifying the actual shape of a 3D model.

A texture that uses grayscale values to add geometric detail and texture to a 3D model by displacing vertices.

A shading method that darkens areas where ambient light is occluded or blocked, enhancing depth and realism.
