Constrained Point
A NURBS Point that is dependent on either another Point, Curve, or Surface,
and whose position is either on the parent object or relative to it. The relative
cases are XYZ-relative, along a normal, or along a tangent (or set of tangents
for a surface-dependent constrained point).
Contact Object
In
Particle Flow on page 2713 , in the context of the Shape Mark operator on
page 2832 , a contact object is the object that will receive the marks created by
the operator.
Containers
Containers are Track View items with multiple branches that provide a
complete definition of something in your scene.
Container items that appear in Track View include:
■ Materials definitions with all parameters, maps, and sub-materials.
■ Maps containers with all map types and map parameters.
■ Single Map containers with a single map type and its associated parameters.
■ Object containers directly below a named object item defining the creation
parameters of an unmodified object.
■ Modified Object containers holding all of the modifiers applied to an object
as well as the creation parameters.
Continuity
A property of curves, including NURBS curves. A curve is continuous if it is
unbroken.
