Object culling is when you hide any objects that are not on the screen making rendering time faster.

Model rigging is a process that you must do if you wish to bone animate your model.


An area use to display or edit images.(Could be wrong about this one)

Weighed vertices are vertices that have been asigned to a bone(during the Model rigging process)

This is off the top of my head and it's 5:00AM here so maybe somone should doublecheck

Weighted Vertices are, as DBprogrammer said, assigned vertices, but are also assigned a "weight" value. This USUALLY means the amount that the vertex is affected by the bone's movement. A weighting of 1 would mean a vertex that fully transforms with the bone, and a weight of .5 would be a vertex that only transforms half of the bones transformation.

As far as I know...lol

so if my vertex has a 0.1 value assigned as its weight, when I move the bone, the vertex moves 10% of what it should normally do ?

Yes probably depending what software you are using though... Blender has weight painting. Awesome tool.
