In 3D computer graphics, a smoothing group is a group of polygons in a polygon mesh which should appear to form a smooth surface. [1] Smoothing groups are useful for describing shapes where some polygons are connected smoothly to their neighbors, and some are not.
A smooth curve that is not closed is often referred to as a smooth arc. [6] The parametrization of a curve provides a natural ordering of points on the curve: () comes before () if <. This leads to the notion of a directed smooth curve. It is most useful to consider curves independent of the specific parametrization.
SketchUp is a 3D modeling software that is used to create and manipulate 3D models. It is used in architecture and interior design.. SketchUp is owned by Trimble Inc. The software has a free web-based version, and three paid subscriptions to gain access to applications for Windows and macOS.
In computer graphics, slerp is shorthand for spherical linear interpolation, introduced by Ken Shoemake [1] in the context of quaternion interpolation for the purpose of animating 3D rotation. It refers to constant-speed motion along a unit-radius great circle arc, given the ends and an interpolation parameter between 0 and 1.
A parametric C r-curve or a C r-parametrization is a vector-valued function: that is r-times continuously differentiable (that is, the component functions of γ are continuously differentiable), where , {}, and I is a non-empty interval of real numbers.
In the field of 3D computer graphics, a subdivision surface (commonly shortened to SubD surface or Subsurf) is a curved surface represented by the specification of a coarser polygon mesh and produced by a recursive algorithmic method.

Jansen's linkage is a planar leg mechanism designed by the kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen to generate a smooth walking motion. [1] Jansen has used his mechanism in a variety of kinetic sculptures which are known as Strandbeesten ( Dutch for "beach beasts").
