In polygonal modeling, the closed space formed when three or more vertices are linked by edges. A polygonal object is a set of connected faces. When these faces form a closed volume, the object becomes a solid model, which can be edited and textured on a per-face basis. By default, a face is shown as a solid unit with a dot in the center.

1. In polygonal modeling, a collection of polygons, which can be of different types (triangles, quads, n-sided).
2. In Maya paint tools, polygonal triangles that appear on screen rather than brush stamps, applied with a mesh brush. Mesh strokes appear more realistic compared to other brush types whether they are viewed close-up or from a distance.

In photography, the range of distances within which objects will be sharply focused. (Objects outside of this range appear blurred or out of focus.) In Maya, all objects are sharply focused by default, no matter how near or far they are from the camera. However, Maya does selectively focus on objects to simulate depth of field.
Industry:Software
A video signal format commonly used in the broadcast industry because of its high quality. In component video, each color component (red, green, and blue) is carried over a separate video cable. The sync signal is carried on a fourth cable, or is included with the green signal (known as sync-on-green, not readable on many pieces of video equipment).
Industry:Software
To change the position from which the camera views its center of interest. The scene in the camera’s view appears to rotate about the center of interest.
The angle of a camera’s sight line relative to the ground plane is also referred to as its elevation; the angle of a camera’s sight line relative to a plane perpendicular to the ground plane is also referred to as its azimuth.
Also known as arc rotate.

1. In the Transfer Maps tool, a term for search envelope.
2. In some software packages, the term for binding skin.
Industry:Software
A state where an object is placed at coordinates relative to the world space origin.

Audio Interchange File Format, a file format for audio data. Maya uses this file format for sound data when creating animations.
