effector: The markers on a Control rig that represent a character’s joints. Effectors are visually represented by the cells on the character representation in the Character settings and can be selected to transform the character’s corresponding body parts. There are two types of effectors: FK effectors and IK effectors.

See FK and IK .

The color emitted by the object.

The emissive color property is used to simulate glowing objects.
Environment mapping: A form of reflection mapping best suited for situations when you are filming a model from a single point of view.
Expression: A mathematical formula that you use to animate properties and elements.
expressions constraint: Also referred to as Expressions, constraints created using data entered in the Expressions pane.

extrapolation: The method of using a mathematical algorithm to estimate how a curve logically continues, based on the currently known values.
