I'm looking over my notes for Tuesday's quiz, putting together a list of the vocab we've gotten so far. If it helps any of you, here's what I've compiled from my handwritten notes. Also check the previous blogs -- I can't guarantee this is everything. :)
RGBA – red, green,
blue, alpha
Alpha – allows us to layer for transparency
Patch – named
after of the old telephone patches that operators used to use to connect calls
Subpatch – an abstraction of the patch, encapsulated in the patch
written as “pd” + space + subpatch
File path – the location of a file in your computer’s hard drive, from
biggest to smallest file
Display resolution – the number of pixels that can be displayed in each
direction of a monitor’s dimensions (The REVE’s screen is 1280x1024, times 5 in
width. This is the equivalent of five SXGA, or Super Extended Graphics Array, screens)
Aspect ratio – the proportional ratio between a monitor’s width and
height, for example a HDTV is 16:9
RGB Values – usually 0-255, therefore 256 values
MIDI Values – 0-127, therefore 128 values
.BVH – BioVision Vectorial Heirarchy file
.FBX – Maya Binary file
.OBJ – Alias Wavefront Object file (3D object, actually a text file
that can be viewed/edited in Wordpad, Notepad, etc.)
.PNG – Portable Network Graphic file (essentially a JPEG plus Alpha for
transparency)
