    A shot of a character’s eye, mouth, or fingers will help enforce the urgency in what is happening, this shot is :

    • Close up shot

    • Point of view shot

    • Extreme close-up shot

    • Over the shoulder shot

    Correct Answer
    A. Extreme close-up shot
    Explanation
    An extreme close-up shot focuses on a specific part of a character's body, such as their eye, mouth, or fingers. By zooming in so close, it creates a sense of intimacy and intensity, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. This shot allows the audience to see every detail and expression on the character's face or the movement of their fingers, heightening the emotional impact and drawing the viewer's attention to the specific action or emotion being portrayed.

    When you create a curve in Maya and view it's control vertices the second vertex will have the following shape

    • Dot shape

    • Square shape

    • U shape

    • Nothing

    Correct Answer
    A. U shape
    Explanation
    When you create a curve in Maya and view its control vertices, the second vertex will have a U shape. This means that the control vertex will have two straight lines connected at one end, forming a U-like shape. This shape is commonly used in Maya to indicate the direction and curvature of the curve. The U shape helps in manipulating and adjusting the curve by providing control points at specific locations.

    To create a single mesh out of two or more meshes we use the following command:

    • Combine

    • Bridge

    • Merge

    • Attach Mesh

    Correct Answer
    A. Combine
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Combine." This command allows us to merge two or more separate meshes into a single mesh. By using the Combine command, we can join the vertices, edges, and faces of multiple meshes together, creating a unified object. This is useful when we want to combine different parts of a model or merge separate objects into one cohesive mesh.

    In the option box for a constrain command, what does the “maintain offset” check box do when the check is on?

    • Reverse the constrain effect.

    • Just affects the vertical movement of the constrained object

    • Preserves (keeps) the original state (distance between objects) before constraining.

    • Adds a certain offset value to the constrained object every time it moves.

    Correct Answer
    A. Preserves (keeps) the original state (distance between objects) before constraining.
    Explanation
    The "maintain offset" check box in the constrain command preserves the original state or distance between objects before constraining. This means that when the check is on, the constrained object will maintain its original position relative to the other object, even when it is moved or manipulated.

    Fields in Maya are used to:

    • Simulate physical forces such as Gravity, wind or drag

    • Set key frames on objects automatically

    • Caching geometries

    • Simulate liquids from any geometry type

    Correct Answer
    A. Simulate physical forces such as Gravity, wind or drag
    Explanation
    Fields in Maya are used to simulate physical forces such as gravity, wind, or drag. These forces can be applied to objects in a scene to create realistic animations and simulations. By adjusting the parameters of the fields, animators can control the strength and direction of these forces to achieve the desired effect. This allows for the creation of dynamic and believable animations in Maya.

    Which of the following terms is the most general one?

    • Digital Effects, since it contains both Visual Effects and Special Effects

    • Visual Effects, since it contains both Digital Effects and Special Effects

    • Special Effects, since it contains both Digital Effects and Visual Effects

    • Super Effects since it contains everything

    Correct Answer
    A. Visual Effects, since it contains both Digital Effects and Special Effects
    Explanation
    Visual Effects is the most general term because it encompasses both Digital Effects and Special Effects. Digital Effects and Special Effects are more specific subsets of Visual Effects, which means that Visual Effects is the broader category that includes both of them. Super Effects is not a relevant term and does not provide any information about its relation to the other terms.
