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. Apply more than one material on object depending on transparency






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






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






4. Imitates theatrical spot light - Can be focused






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






6. Has specular - Fall off differs from Blinn






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






8. The starting box where you add details needed.






9. Do alter silhouette edge of object - Require higher tesselation of surface






10. Basic shapes (spheres - cubes - cylinders) that act as building blocks to create a project.






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






12. The front - side - top views.






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






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






15. A texture that was taken from a file.






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






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






18. Defines where material is transparent - AKA Scalar Maps






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






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






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






22. A part of the software where you tell Maya that you only want certain lights to affect certain objects.






23. 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.






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






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






26. Has sepcular - Used for really shiny objects






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






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






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






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






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






32. The darkest color an object will ever be.






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






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

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






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






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






38. Software written specifically for that studio.






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






40. Scaling all directions at once.






41. Image or color that wraps around the model.






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






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






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






45. The connection between a shader and texture.






46. Modified shape to specular






47. The 3D view of your shot.






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






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






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