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






2. The darkest color an object will ever be.






3. Has sepcular - Used for really shiny objects






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






5. A texture that was taken from a file.






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






7. The 3D view of your shot.






8. Scaling all directions at once.






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






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






11. Software written specifically for that studio.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. Has specular - Fall off differs from Blinn






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






24. Polygons - NURBS - SubDs






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






26. The front - side - top views.






27. Modified shape to specular






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






29. The starting box where you add details needed.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






38. Image or color that wraps around the model.






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






40. Imitates theatrical spot light - Can be focused






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






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






43. The connection between a shader and texture.






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






45. 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.






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






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






48. Defines where material is transparent - AKA Scalar Maps






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






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