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. Image or color that wraps around the model.






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






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






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






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






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






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






9. The starting box where you add details needed.






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

11. The front - side - top views.






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






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






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






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






16. Polygons - NURBS - SubDs






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






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






19. Modified shape to specular






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






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






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






23. The 3D view of your shot.






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






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






26. Defines where material is transparent - AKA Scalar Maps






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






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






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






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






31. 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.






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






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






34. Has specular - Fall off differs from Blinn






35. A texture that was taken from a file.






36. Imitates theatrical spot light - Can be focused






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






38. Scaling all directions at once.






39. Has sepcular - Used for really shiny objects






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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