Maya 3D Computer Modeling

Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The darkest color an object will ever be.






2. True reflections - Vector based math - Computationally heavy - More bounces = More power needed - Calculates refraction






3. Has sepcular - Used for really shiny objects






4. Imitates rectangular neon light source - Light comes out of source area






5. A black and white image that is used to give the illusion of a bumpy surface.






6. The 3D view of your shot.






7. Fakes true environment - Less time to calculate - Resembles true reflections - Image projected on virtual shape






8. Rendering (taking pictures of) a whole sequence or "batch" of images.






9. Software that uses graphics to click on/buttons instead of typed commands.






10. The starting box where you add details needed.






11. Create a primitive shape - add edge loops - edit edge loops/faces/vertices. Made up of faces - edges.






12. When you take all rendered images into a software and turn them into a single movie file.






13. The flow of how the edges are patterned around the model.






14. Defines where material is transparent - AKA Scalar Maps






15. Image or color that wraps around the model.






16. A texture that was taken from a file.






17. Imitates fill light - Doesn't affect specular - Imitates bounced light






18. Includes translating - rotating - and scaling an object in (x -y -z).






19. Imitates theatrical spot light - Can be focused






20. Apply more than one material on object depending on position of ramp






21. Off-the-shelf software that anyone uses.






22. Combine color map with transparency map to create a label that can be applied to surface






23. Software written specifically for that studio.






24. Naming all files in the same way so that they're easy to find.






25. The connection between a shader and texture.






26. Imitates sun - Position of light is irrelevant - Rotation orientation of light is important






27. Mathematically most simple - No specular - Used for matte finishes






28. The box where an important action must fit so that nothing gets cut off.






29. Imitates light bulb - Omni-directional light rays - Fog






30. Gesture thumb to right - index up - and middle towards you. Represents the axis: positive X is your thumb - positive Y is index finger - and middle finger is positive Z.






31. Textures that the software makes for you so that they render faster. 2D texture wraps around the model - 3D goes inside the object.






32. Only through Ray Tracing - Requires at least two surfaces - Requires modeling inside and outside of glass vessels






33. When one object is a parent object - one is a child object - and whatever the parent object does - the child does the same.






34. When you don't parent 3D textures to the model properly and the object moves independently of its texture.

35. A small box so that the title doesn't get cut off.






36. Modified shape to specular






37. Do not alter silhouette edge of object - Implied texture






38. Apply more than one material on object depending on transparency






39. Where x - y - z all meet. (0 -0 -0) the very center of a shot.






40. The front - side - top views.






41. A light that is being emitted in all directions.






42. Something that shows how light will affect a model (Blinn - Lambert - etc.)






43. A CG term where an imaginary line sticks out perpendicular to the faces so that you can see the exterior of the model.






44. Polygons - NURBS - SubDs






45. A container that has either a shader - texture - etc.






46. Made up of isoparms (edges) - controlled vertices - patches (faces).






47. Has specular - Fall off differs from Blinn






48. Shows you the resolution of your shot and the aspect ratio of your render cam.






49. Picking one arrow and scaling one direction at a time.






50. A light used to simulate sunlight and works by rotation.
