    Why was Gutenberg's work so important?

    • It allowed for the creation and wide spread of printed materials

    • It allowed everyone to have a Bible

    • It allowed everyone to have a pen

    • It allowed everyone to be able to call people on the phone

    Correct Answer
    A. It allowed for the creation and wide spread of printed materials
    Explanation
    Gutenberg's work was important because it allowed for the creation and wide spread of printed materials. Before Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, books were handwritten and therefore expensive and time-consuming to produce. The printing press revolutionized the way information was disseminated by enabling the mass production of books and other printed materials. This made books more affordable and accessible to a wider audience, leading to increased literacy rates and the spread of knowledge and ideas. Gutenberg's invention played a crucial role in the development of modern communication and education systems.

    Where do you store the clip when you take it out of the "Clip" folder?

    • Clips tab

    • Shaders tab

    • Objects tab

    • Sounds tab

    Correct Answer
    A. Clips tab
    Explanation
    When you take the clip out of the "Clip" folder, you store it in the Clips tab. The Clips tab is specifically designed to store and organize video clips, making it the most appropriate location for storing the clip. The Shaders tab is used for storing and managing shaders, the Objects tab is used for storing and managing 3D objects, and the Sounds tab is used for storing and managing audio clips. Therefore, the most suitable option for storing the clip is the Clips tab.

    Where do you drag the clip when you want to pose your figure?

    • Sequencer

    • Instances tab

    • Clips tab

    • Realistic Sky box

    Correct Answer
    A. Sequencer
    Explanation
    In order to pose your figure, you would need to drag the clip in the Sequencer. The Sequencer is a tool used for creating and editing cinematic sequences in various game engines and animation software. It allows you to arrange and manipulate clips, including posing figures, in a timeline-based interface. The Instances tab and Clips tab may be related to other features or functions within the software, but they are not specifically designed for posing figures. The Realistic Sky box is unrelated to posing figures and is likely used for creating realistic sky visuals in a scene.

     Johannes GutenbergJohannes Gutenberg invented the printing press. While this may not sound like a big deal at first, the printing press is often considered as the most important invention in modern times. Think about how important information is today. Without books and computers you wouldn't be able to learn, to pass on information, or to share scientific discoveries. Prior to Gutenberg inventing the printing press, making a book was a laborious process. It wasn't that hard to write a letter to one person by hand, but to create thousands of books for many people to read was nearly impossible. Without the printing press we wouldn't have had the Scientific Revolution or the Renaissance. Our world would be very different. Where did Johannes Gutenberg grow up? Johannes was born in Mainz, Germany around the year 1398. He was the son of a Goldsmith. Not a whole lot more is known about his childhood. It appears he moved a few times around Germany, but that's about all is known for sure.  What did Gutenberg invent? Gutenberg took some existing technologies and some of his own inventions to come up with the printing press in the year 1450. One key idea he came up with was moveable type. Rather than use wooden blocks to press ink onto paper, Gutenberg used moveable metal pieces to quickly create pages. He made innovations all the way through the printing process enabling pages to be printed much more rapidly. His presses could print 1000's of pages per day vs. 40-50 with the old method. This was a dramatic improvement and allowed books to be acquired by the middle class and spread knowledge and education like never before. The invention of the printing press spread rapidly throughout Europe and soon thousands of books were being printed on printing presses.  What books were first printed by the Gutenberg press? It's thought that the first printed item from the press was a German poem. Other prints included Latin Grammars and indulgences for the Catholic Church. Gutenberg's real fame came from producing the Gutenberg Bible. It was the first time a Bible was mass produced and available for anyone outside of the church. Bibles were rare and could take up to a year for a priest to transcribe. Gutenberg printed around 200 of these in a relatively short time. Fun Facts about Gutenberg  In 1462 he was exiled from Mainz. However, things turned around for him and in 1465 he was given a fancy title, a yearly salary, and more as a reward for his invention.The original Bible sold for 30 florins. This was a lot of money back then for a commoner, but much, much cheaper than a hand written version.There are around 21 complete Gutenberg Bibles existing still today. One of these Bibles is likely worth around $30 million. - ProProfs
