Layering shaders are considered physical based shaders. Therefore, they should interact only with lights that are physically plausible: that is, the light should act like a realworld light

True

False

Using raytrace shadows produces more accurate results, but it often takes a little more time and processor power to calcultae

True

False

Ambient occlusion occurs when indirect light rays are prevented from reaching a surface. Ambient occlusion is a soft and subtle type of shadowing. It's usually found in the craks and crevices.

True

False

With a 3D texture, objects appear to be carved out of a substance, such as rock or wood. You can scale, rotate and move 3D textures interactively in a scene view to achieve the desired results.

True

False

A transparent surface can change the direction of the light rays as they pass through the surface. The bending of light rays can distort the image of objects on the other side of the surface

Reflection

Diffusion

Refraction

Fresnel Effect

Describes how a light ray is reflected off a rough surface.

Refraction

Diffusion

Fresnel Effect

Reflection

Cast shadows are created when an object blocks the rays of light coming from a light source

True

False

Area lights and image based lighting work best with layering shaders, since their visible light corresponds with the light that they actually cast.

True

False

This effect describes the amount of reflection and refraction that occurs on a surface as the viewing angle changes.

Fresnel Effect

Anisotropy

Refraction

Diffusion

This is the region of sharp focus in a photograph

Exposure

Depth of Field

Ambient

Aperture

Using the OpenEXR file format, you can write each pass as a single layer within the file itself

True

False

Render layers can be used to create a balance between efficiency and flexibility

True

False

_________are best used to isolate geometry shaders, and lighting to create different versions of the same animation.

When maya renders an image, it collects data from the scene and stores it in a temporary image known as

Render Layer

Using ___________________. You can separate the reflections, shadows, diffuse color, ambient occlusion, specular highlights, and so on, into images or image sequences, which can be thhen be reassembled in compositing software

Pass

Render passes

Render layers

Render passes divide the output created by a render layer into separate images or image sequences.

True

False

___________are way to automate the organization of your renders. If your scene has a lot of layers, cameras, and passes.

File tokens

Render Passes

EXR-IO

Render Layers

EXR-IO a free photoshop plugin that can read openEXR format with multilayers render passes

True

False

Render layers are best used to isolate geometry, shaders, and lighting to create different versions of the same animation

True

False

Sets the distance the brush moves on the polygon surface before a new brush stroke is created

Brush

Mask

Falloff

Spacing

____________ Controls the orientation of the primitive to be in the direction of the brush stroke without modifying the bend

Bend

Elevation

Repel

Orient

XGen Description store settings for positioning, generating, and rendering primitives. Each Description controls primitives on the selected faces of the mesh surface, which are called XGen patches. You can add any number of Descriptions to a polygon mesh. Descriptions are contained by and organized in Collections

True

False

Groomable splines are non-renderable spline primitives that you first shape using the brushes, and then preview and render as default spline primitives

True

False

XGen Collections let your organize related sets of Descriptions for a character or scene. You can create a Collection for a character or scene element and add each Description to the Collection.

True

False

Sets how the brush storke falls off to no effect. You can select a Gauss, Smooth, Linear, or Impulse distribution

Brush

Spacing

Mask

Falloff

It gives you the ability to control attributes such as size and shape.

This controls the bend of the primitive in the direction of the brush stroke without modifying the orientation.

Use the grooming brushes to add, scale, sculpt, and position groomable splines for your character's hair or fur.

True

False
