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






2. The 3D view of your shot.






3. Image or color that wraps around the model.






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. Software written specifically for that studio.






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






12. Polygons - NURBS - SubDs






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






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






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






16. Imitates theatrical spot light - Can be focused






17. Defines where material is transparent - AKA Scalar Maps






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

19. 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.






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






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






22. Has specular - Fall off differs from Blinn






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






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






25. Has sepcular - Used for really shiny objects






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






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






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






29. Scaling all directions at once.






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






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






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






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






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






35. The front - side - top views.






36. A texture that was taken from a file.






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






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






39. The darkest color an object will ever be.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






48. Modified shape to specular






49. The starting box where you add details needed.






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