Track View. Curve View doesn’t use soft-selection
like the Key Window, instead it has a specialized
Show Layered Edit command for the equivalent of
soft selection on biped keys.
CV
CVs (control vertices) in the lattice surrounding a NURBS
surface
Short for control vertex.
In NURBS modeling, a vertex that controls a CV
Curve or CV Surface. The 3D location of each
CVaffectstheshapeofthecurveorsurface.CVs
aren’t constrained to lie on the curve or surface.
Each CV has a rational weight that can be used to
adjust the influence of the CV on the curve’s or
surface’s shape.
CV Cu rve
NURBS CV curve
A NURBS curve defined by CVs. The CVs don’t
necessarily lie on the curve. Instead, they form
a control lattice that affects t he curvature of the
curve.
CV Surf ace
NURBS CV surface
ANURBSsurfacedefinedbyCVs.TheCVsdon’t
necessarily lie on the sur face. Instead, they form
a control lattice that affects t he curvature of the
surface.
