Bisel

The operation to chamfer or bevel edges of an object.

Bloqueo de cardán

The limitation where axes of rotation can become aligned, losing the ability to rotate on an axis (typically associated with Euler Rotation).

BVH
Jerarquía de volumen delimitador (Bounding Volume Hierarchy)

A hierarchical structure of geometric objects.

See also Bounding Volume Hierarchy on Wikipedia.

Campo de visión

The area in which objects are visible to the camera. Also see Focal Length.

Canal Alfa

Canal adicional en una imagen, para controlar su transparencia.

Alfa directo

Método por medio del cual los canales RVAα son almacenados como canales (R, V, A, α), en donde el valor delos colores no se encuentra afectado por el canal alfa. Este es el tipo de canal alfa usado internamente en programas de pintura como Photoshop o Gimp y es soportado por formato de archivo comunes, tales como PNG, BMP o Targa. De este modo, las texturas o imágenes procesadas para la web utilizan normalmente un alfa directo.

Alfa premultiplicado

Método por medio del cual los canales RVAα son almacenados como canales (R × α, G × α, B × α, α), en donde el valor de los colores se encuentra multiplicado por el valor del canal alfa.

Este es el formato natural de salida de los motores de procesamiento, en donde los canales RVA representan la cantidad de luz que incidirá sobre la cámara y el canal alfa representa qué tanto de la luz de fondo será ocluida. El formato de archivo OpenEXR utiliza este tipo de alfa. Así, usualmente los archivos intermedios en trabajos de procesamiento y composición son almacenados con su alfa premultiplicado.

Conversión de alfa (directo/premultiplicado)

La conversión entre los dos tipos de alfa no es una operación sencilla y puede producir pérdida de datos (debido a que ambos tipos son capaces de representar datos que el otro tipo no), aunque ésto es normalmente sutil.

Una imagen con alfa directo podría ser considerada como una imagen en color RVA con una canal separado de alfa. En las áreas en donde esta máscara sea completamente transparente, aún podrá haber colores en los canales RVA. Al ser convertida a una imagen con el alfa premultiplicado, esta máscara será aplicada y los colores en tales áreas se convertirán en negro, perdiéndose su información.

El alfa premultiplicado, por otra parte, es capaz de representar imágenes procesadas 3D en donde existan elementos que emitan luz o que ésta los atraviese desde atrás. Por ejemplo: un fuego transparente puede estar emitiendo luz, pero también estar siendo atravesado por la luz proveniente de los objetos del fondo. Al convertir una imagen así a alfa directo, este efecto se perderá.

Empacado de Canales

Una mapa de imagen separado será almacenado para cada canal de color y alfa. El empaque de canales es usualmente usado por los motores de juegos para ahorrar y optimizar el acceso a la memoria.

Cara

In rendering this refers to diffuse reflected light paths after a glossy or refraction bounce.

See also Caustics on Wikipedia.

Centro geométrico

The mean average of the positions of all vertices making up the object.

Ciclo de caminata

In animation, a walk cycle is a character that has just the walking function animated. Later on in the animation process, the character is placed in an environment and the rest of the functions are animated.

Croma
Crominancia

In general, a resulting image color decomposition, where its (L or Y) luminance channel is separated. There are two different contexts whereas this term is used:

Sistemas de video

Refers to the general color decomposition resulting in Y (Luminance) and C (Chrominance) channels, whereas the chrominance is represented by: U = ( Blue minus Luminance ) and V = ( Red minus Luminance ).

Composición de mate

Refers to a point in the color gamut surrounded by a mixture of a determined spectrum of its RGB neighboring colors. This point is called Chroma key and this key (a chosen color) is used to create an Alpha Mask. The total amount of gamut space for this chrominance point is defined by users in a circular or square-shaped format.

Cromaticidades

The coordinates of the Primaries on the CIE 1931 xy chromaticity diagram.

Cuaternio
Rotación de Cuaterniones

Rotation method where rotations are defined by four values (X, Y, Z, and W). X, Y, and Z also define an Axis, and W an angle, but it is quite different from Axis Angle.

Quaternion values can be interpreted geometrically as defining a point on a unit sphere in 4D space. Moving along any great circle of the sphere represents rotating around a fixed axis, with one full circle matching two full rotations.

Curva

A type of object defined in terms of a line interpolated between Control Vertices. Available types of curves include Bézier, NURBS and Poly.

Curva-f

Una curva de función que define los valores de animación de una propiedad específica.

Desplegable

Las mallas desplegables, también llamadas mallas “herméticas”, definen un volumen cerrado que no se corta a sí mismo (ver también No Desplegable). Una malla múltiple es una malla en la que la estructura de las caras conectadas en un volumen cerrado siempre apuntará las normales (y sus superficies) hacia el exterior o hacia el interior de la malla sin superposiciones. Si vuelve a calcular esas normales, siempre apuntarán en una dirección predecible (hacia el exterior o el interior del volumen). Cuando se trabaja con volúmenes no cerrados, una malla múltiple es una malla en la que las normales siempre definirán dos superficies diferentes y no consecutivas. Una malla múltiple siempre definirá un número par de superficies no superpuestas.

Dielectric Material

A material for real world objects that are electrical insulators such as plastics, wood, glass, ect. Essentially this summarizes any material that is solid and non metallic.

Displacement Mapping

A method for distorting vertices based on an image or texture. Similar to Bump Mapping, but instead operates on the mesh’s actual geometry. This relies on the mesh having enough geometry to represent details in the image.

Distancia Focal

The distance required by a lens to focus collimated light. Defines the magnification power of a lens. Also see Field of View.

Doble buffer

Technique for rendering and displaying content on the screen. Blender uses two buffers (images) to render the interface, the content of one buffer is displayed while rendering occurs on the other buffer. When rendering is complete, the buffers are switched.

DOF
Profundidad de Campo

The distance in front of and behind the subject which appears to be in focus. For any given lens setting, there is only one distance at which a subject is precisely in focus, but focus falls off gradually on either side of that distance, so there is a region in which the blurring is tolerable. This region is greater behind the point of focus than it is in front, as the angle of the light rays change more rapidly; they approach being parallel with increasing distance.

Eje

A reference line which defines coordinates along one cardinal direction in n-dimensional space.

Eje y ángulo

Rotation method where X, Y, and Z correspond to the axis definition, while W corresponds to the angle around that axis, in radians.

Elasticidad

The amount a material is elastic versus inelastic.

Elástico

Una imagen cuyo canal de Luminancia no se encuentra limitado.

Ver también En referencia al dispositivo.

En referencia al dispositivo

Se trata de una imagen cuyo canal de Luminancia se encuentra limitado a un cierto rango de valores (usualmente entre 0 y 1). La razón por la que se denomina «en referencia al dispositivo» es porque un dispositivo de visualización (un monitor o pantalla) no es capaz de reproducir un rango infinito de valores. Por esto los valores En referencia a la escena deberán pasar a través de una función de transferencia para ser convertidos de un tipo al otro.

Enégono

Una Cara que contiene más de cuatro vértices.

Espacio de Color

A coordinate system in which a vector represent a color value. This way the color space defines three things:

The color spaces supported by Blender depend on the active OCIO config. The default supported color spaces are described in detail here: Default OpenColorIO Configuration

sRVA

A color space that uses the Rec .709 Primaries and a D65 white point, and 2.2 gamma correction value as the transfer function.

Espacio de texturizado

The bounding box to use when using Generated mapping to add a Texture to an image.

See World Space.

Esqueleto

Un objeto compuesto de huesos. Usado para crear el Rig de personajes, utilería, etc.

Euler
Rotación Euler

Rotation method where rotations are applied to each of the X, Y, Z axes in a specific order.

Euler orders in Blender are most intuitive when read backwards: XYZ Euler is similar to rotating around Local Z using the Rotate tool in the 3D Viewport, followed by Local Y and then Local X.

Fake User

A special Data User, a program construct that is used to mark an object (e.g. material) to be saved in a blend-file, even when no Real User is using the object. Objects that are not used by any Data User are not included in saved blend-files.

FK
Cinemática directa (CD)

The process of determining the movement of interconnected segments or bones of a body or model in the order from the parent bones to the child bones. Using forward kinematics on a hierarchically structured object, you can move the upper arm then the lower arm and hand go along with the movement. Without forward kinematics the lower arm and hand would disconnect from upper arm and would move independently in space.

See also Inverse Kinematics.

Fotograma clave

A frame in an animated sequence drawn or otherwise constructed directly by the animator. In classical animation, when all frames were drawn by animators, the senior artist would draw these frames, leaving the «in between» frames to an apprentice. Now, the animator creates only the first and last frames of a simple sequence (keyframes); the computer fills in the gap.

Gama

An operation used to adjust the brightness of an image.

See also Gamma correction on Wikipedia.

Gama de colores

A gamut traditionally refers to the volume of color a particular color model/space can cover. In many instances, it is illustrated via a 2D model using CIE Yxy coordinates.

Geodésico

Relating to the shortest possible path between two points on a curved surface.

Girar
Ángulo de giro

The orientation of the local X and Z axes of a Bone. Has no effect on the local Y axis as local Y is determined by the location of the Head and Tail.

Grupo de Vértices

Collection of Vertices. Vertex groups are useful for limiting operations to specific areas of a mesh.

HDRI
Imagen de alto rango dinámico (High Dynamic Range Image)

See also HDRI on Wikipedia.

Head

A subcomponent of a Bone. The point of rotation for the bone has X, Y, and Z coordinates measured in the Local Space of the Armature object. Used in conjunction with the Tail to define the local Y axis of the bone in Pose Mode. The larger of the two ends when displayed as an Octahedron.

Hueso

The building block of an Armature. Made up of a Head, Tail and Roll Angle which define a set of local axes and a point of rotation at the Head. Also see Pose Bone.

IK
Inverse Kinematics

The process of determining the movement of interconnected segments or bones of a body or model in the order from the child bones to the parent bones. Using inverse kinematics on a hierarchically structured object, you can move the hand then the upper and lower arm will automatically follow that movement. Without inverse kinematics the hand would come off the model and would move independently in space.

See also Forward Kinematics.

Iluminación ambiental

La iluminación que proviene del entorno que rodea a la escena.

Iluminación difusa

Even, directed light coming off a surface. For most things, diffuse light is the main lighting we see. Diffuse light comes from a specific direction or location and creates shading. Surfaces facing towards the light source will be brighter, while surfaces facing away from the light source will be darker.

Iluminación directa

The light that has a specific direction, but no location. It seems to come from an infinitely far away source, like the sun. Surfaces facing the light are illuminated more than surfaces facing away, but their location does not matter. A directional light illuminates all objects in the scene, no matter where they are.

Iluminación especular

A light which is reflected precisely, like a mirror. Also used to refer to highlights on reflective objects.

Iluminación global

A superset of Radiosity and ray tracing. The goal is to compute all possible light interactions in a given scene, and thus, obtain a truly photorealistic image. All combinations of diffuse and specular reflections and transmissions must be accounted for. Effects such as color bleeding and caustics must be included in a global illumination simulation.

Interpolación

The process of calculating new data between points of known value, like Keyframes.

IR
Índice de refracción

A property of transparent materials. When a light ray travels through the same volume it follows a straight path. However, if it passes from one transparent volume to another, it bends. The angle by which the ray is bent can be determined by the IOR of the materials of both volumes.

MatCap

Stands for «material capture», using an image to represent a complete material including lighting and reflections.

Matte
Máscara

A grayscale image used to include or exclude parts of an image. A matte is applied as an Alpha Channel, or it is used as a mix factor when applying Color Blend Modes.

Metadatos de recurso

Micropolígonos

A polygon roughly the size of a pixel or smaller.

MIP
Mip-map
Mip-mapping

“MIP” is an acronym of the Latin phrase “multum in parvo”, meaning “much in little”. Mip-maps are progressively lower resolution representations of an image, generally reduced by half squared interpolations using Anti-Aliasing. Mip-mapping is the process used to calculate lower resolutions of the same image, reducing memory usage to help speed visualization, but increasing memory usage for calculations and allocation. Mip-mapping is also a process used to create small anti-aliased samples of an image used for texturing. The mip-mapping calculations are made by CPUs, but modern graphic processors can be selected for this task and are way faster.

See the mip-map option present in the System Preferences.

MIS
Multiple Importance Sampling

A process of estimating the direction of light rays to improve sampling quality.

See Multiple Importance Sampling and also Importance sampling on Wikipedia.

Modelo de color

A mechanism for representing colors as numbers.

A general term used to describe a 3D mouse, or any input devices which supports more degrees of freedom than a conventional 2D input device, see: Touchpad.

No desplegable

Non-Manifold meshes essentially define geometry which cannot exist in the real world. This kind of geometry is not suitable for several types of operations, especially those where knowing the volume (inside/outside) of the object is important (refraction, fluids, Boolean operations, or 3D printing, to name a few). A non-manifold mesh is a mesh in which the structure of a non-overlapped surface (based on its connected faces) will not determine the inside or the outside of a volume based on its normals, defining a single surface for both sides, but ended with flipped normals. When working with non-closed volumes, a non-manifold mesh will always determine at least one discontinuity in the normal directions, either by an inversion of a connected loop, or by an odd number of surfaces. A non-manifold mesh will always define an odd number of surfaces.

There are several types of non-manifold geometry:

  • Some borders and holes (edges with only a single connected face), as faces have no thickness.

  • Edges and vertices not belonging to any face (wire).

  • Edges connected to three or more faces (interior faces).

  • Vertices belonging to faces that are not adjoining (e.g. two cones sharing the vertex at the apex).

Normals can be assigned to vertices, faces and modulated across a surface using Normal Mapping.

Ver también Normales en Wikipedia.

Normal de cara

The normalized vector perpendicular to the plane that a Face lies in. Each face has its own normal.

Normal Mapping

Is similar to Bump Mapping, but instead of the image being a grayscale heightmap, the colors define in which direction the normal should be shifted, the three color channels being mapped to the three directions X, Y and Z. This allows more detail and control over the effect.

Nube de Puntos

Una lista de puntos en el espacio 3D.

NURBS
Spline básica racional no uniforme (Non-uniform Rational Basis Spline)

Una técnica de gráfica computacional para generar y representar curvas y superficies.

Phong

Local illumination model that can produce a certain degree of realism in three-dimensional objects by combining three elements: diffuse, specular and ambient for each considered point on a surface. It has several assumptions – all lights are points, only surface geometry is considered, only local modeling of diffuse and specular, specular color is the same as light color, ambient is a global constant.

Pintado de influencias

Assigning Vertices to a Vertex Group with a weight of 0.0 - 1.0.

Pixel

The smallest unit of information in a 2D raster image, representing a single color made up of red, green, and blue channels. If the image has an Alpha Channel, the pixel will contain a corresponding fourth channel.

Pliegue

Property of an Edge. Used to define the sharpness of edges in Subdivision Surface meshes.

Polo

Vertex where three, five, or more edges meet. A vertex connected to one, two, or four edges is not a pole.

Pose Bone

Pose-specific properties of a Bone, such as its location / rotation / scale relative to the Armature’s rest pose. Its properties are stored on the Object, and thus can be different for each user of the Armature. The Pose Bone also stores constraints.

Procesar

The process of computationally generating a 2D image from 3D geometry.

Profundidad de bits

The exponent value (with base two) for how many colors can be represented within a single color channel. A higher bit depth will allow more possible colors, reducing banding, and increasing precision. Yet a higher bit depth will increase memory usage exponentially.

Proyección

In computer graphics, there are two common camera projections used.

Perspectiva

A perspective view is geometrically constructed by taking a scene in 3D and placing an observer at point O. The 2D perspective scene is built by placing a plane (e.g. a sheet of paper) where the 2D scene is to be rendered in front of point O, perpendicular to the viewing direction. For each point P in the 3D scene a PO line is drawn, passing by O and P. The intersection point S between this PO line and the plane is the perspective projection of that point. By projecting all points P of the scene you get a perspective view.

Ortogonal

In an orthographic projection, you have a viewing direction but not a viewing point O. The line is then drawn through point P so that it is parallel to the viewing direction. The intersection S between the line and the plane is the orthographic projection of the point P. By projecting all points P of the scene you get the orthographic view.

Punto de blanco

A reference value for white light when all primaries of a color model are combined evenly.

A white point is defined by a set of CIE illuminates which correspond to a color temperature. For example, D65 corresponds to 6500 K light and D70 corresponding to 7000 K.

Punto de Pivote

The pivot point is the point in space around which all rotation, scaling and mirror transformations are centered.

See also Radiosity (computer graphics) on Wikipedia.

Rebotes de luz

Refers to the reflection or transmission of a light ray upon interaction with a material. See also Light Paths.

Recurso

Curated data-blocks that are meant for reuse, usually contained in an Asset Library. See also Asset Libraries.

Note that there are other meanings of the word «asset» – sometimes this is used more generically, and refers to any «useful thing», like images, models, materials, and more.

Reemplazo

For video editing, a proxy is a smaller version of the original file, typically using an optimized video codec and lower resolution version (faster to load) that stands in for the main image or video.

When proxies are built, editing functions like scrubbing and scrolling and compositing is much faster but gives lower resolution and slightly imprecise result.

Refracción

The change in direction of a wave due to a change in velocity. It happens when waves travel from a medium with a given Index of Refraction to a medium with another. At the boundary between the media, the wave changes direction; its wavelength increases or decreases but frequency remains constant.

Segmento de curva

La parte de una curva que conecta dos puntos de control adyacentes.

Semilla Aleatoria
Semilla

Blender uses pseudo random number generators, which produce numbers that appear to be random, but given the same initial condition, they will always produce the exact same sequence of numbers.

This is a critical feature to get reproducible and/or stable effects (otherwise e.g. your hair simulation would change every time you re-run it, without any way to control the outcome).

The seed is a number that represents the initial condition of a random generator, if you change its seed, it will produce a new sequence of pseudo-random numbers.

See also Random seed on Wikipedia.

Sesión de Blender
Sesión

Common examples include fire, explosions, smoke, sparks, falling leaves, clouds, fog, snow, dust, meteor tails, stars, and galaxies, or abstract visual effects like glowing trails, magic spells. Also used for things like fur, grass or hair.

Sobrebarrido

The term used to describe the situation. when not all of a televised image is present on a viewing screen.

See also Overscan on Wikipedia.

Sombreado

Process of altering the color of an object/surface in the 3D scene, based on its angle to lights and its distance from lights to create a photorealistic effect.

Swing
Balanceo y torsión

Refers to decomposition of an arbitrary rotation into a sequence of two single axis rotations: a swing rotation that aims a chosen axis in its final direction using the shortest possible rotation path, followed by a twist rotation around that axis.

This decomposition is available through Driver Variables and inputs of the Transformation constraint. The Damped Track constraint produces a pure swing rotation.

In the Quaternion representation the swing rotation always has 0 as the X/Y/Z component corresponding to the selected axis, while twist always has 0 as the other two components.

In video compression, a frame can be compressed by several different algorithms. These algorithms are known as picture types or frame types and there are three major types: I, P, and B frames.

Fotogramas I

The least compressible but don’t require other video frames to decode.

Fotogramas P

Use data from previous frames to decompress and are more compressible than I‑frames.

Fotogramas B

Use both previous and forward frames for data reference to get the highest amount of compression.

Tono

A shade of light out of the color spectrum.

Topología

The arrangement of Vertices, Edges, and Faces which define the shape of a mesh. See Vertex, Edge, and Face.

Transformación

The combination of location, rotation, and scale. Can be expressed in World Space or Local Space.

Transluminiscencia
Dispersión subsuperficial (SSS)

Mechanism of light transport in which light penetrates the surface of a translucent object, is scattered by interacting with the material, and exits the surface at a different point. All non-metallic materials are translucent to some degree. In particular, materials such as marble, skin, and milk are extremely difficult to simulate realistically without taking subsurface scattering into account.

Trazado de rayos

Rendering technique that works by tracing the path taken by a ray of light through the scene, and calculating reflection, refraction, or absorption of the ray whenever it intersects an object in the world. More accurate than Scanline, but much slower.

Triángulo

Face with exactly three Vertices.

Usuario de datos

An existing Blender object, which is using its own data, or linked data (data owned and controlled by another Blender object).

Usuario real

A Blender object, which is a Data User. Opposite of Fake User, which is only a program construct.

Vacío

An Object without any Vertices, Edges or Faces.

Valor

The brightness of the color (dark to light).

Vértice
Vértices

A point in 3D space containing a location. Vertices are the terminating points of Edges.

Volumen Delimitador

The box that encloses the shape of an object. The box is aligned with the local space of the object.

Vóxel

A cubic 3D equivalent to the square 2D pixel. The name is a combination of the terms «Volumetric» and «Pixel». Used to store smoke and fire data from physics simulations.

World Space

A 3D coordinate system that originates at a point at the origin of the world. Compare to Local Space.
