• EXR
• GIF
• JPG
• BMP

Q5. Pose-to-pose is common character animation technique. In this process of blocking out poses and timing, the animator may wish to disable all interpolated motion. How can you disable all inbetweening in the viewport wihout changing the animation curve?

Q7. Before rendering any dynamic simulation, what must you do in order to get a predictable and consistent result?

• Delete construction history
• Bake to keyframes
• Cache to disk
• Build a mesh

Reference

Q8. The marking menu provides shortcuts to context-sensitive commands and tools. How is markin menu accessed for the selected object?

• Position the mouse cursor in a viewport and hold down the Spacebar
• Position the mouse cursor in a viewport and hold down the right mouse button
• Position the mouse cursor in a viewport and tap the Spacebar
• Position the mouse cursor in a viewport and hold down the middle mouse button

Reference

Q9. Camera field of view is indicated by a pyramid shape. What is this shape called?

• clip plane
• film back
• frustum
• gate mask

[Warning] Just be carefull. Because in this question, they have been asking about “pyramid shape” but also they show the “gate mask”. Reference

Q10. Which of these images shows a Bezier curve?

• A
• B
• C
• D

Reference

Q11. Which type of light is best for a flood studio lighting setup?

• point
• directional
• spot
• area

Reference

Q12. Why might you choose Quaternion rotation interpolation over the default Euler interpolation?

• XYZ axes can be keyed independently
• Angle values can be greater than 180 degrees and less than -180 degrees
• Curves are easily shaped with tangent handles
• Rotations are more reliable

Reference

Q13. In a physically based renderer such as Arnold, what material attribute controls reflectivity according the angle of the surface to the camera? For example, if you want to make the front-facing surface more reflective relative to the side-facing surface, what should you increase?

• Specular Roughness
• Index of Refraction
• Anisotropy
• Transmission Weight

Reference

Q14. For a dynamic simulation, what Playback Speed setting ensures reliable interactive viewport performance at the most accurate frame rate?

• Play Every Frame, Max Real-Time (current frame rate *1)
• Continuos
• Real-time (current frame rate *1)
• Play Every Frame, Free

Reference

Q15. A physically based rendering of an interior scene appears overly dark in the shadows. Which rendering attribute can increase the amount of bounce light to brighten the shadows?

• Specular Samples
• Diffuse Ray Depth
• Diffuse Samples
• Transmission Ray Depth

Reference

Q16. An animation rig requires that an object always rotates with another object. The two objects maintain an offset, so that the rotation values are connected, but not equal. The translate and scale channels of the two objects have no relationship. What is the simplest method to build this rig?

• point constraint
• inverse kinematics
• orient constarint
• parent-child link

Reference

Q17. Which constaring would you use to make an object inherit translation only from another object?

• parent constraint
• aim constraint
• orient constraint
• point constraint

Reference

Q18. You are rendering a scene in software. An object has a Maya native 3D texture applied. How can you adjust the size of the texture relative to the object?

• Scale the object UVs
• Scale the object transform
• Scale a texture placement node
• Adjust texture attributes

Reference

Q19. A scene calls for unique trees and other plants in the background, What is the optimal tool or technique to create complex plants that will save production time and still look good in a final rendering?

• Substance
• XGen
• Modeling Toolkit
• Paint Effects

Reference

Q20. Polygons can be double-sided or single-sided. For a single-sided polygon, only one side is renderable, and the flip side is invisible in a rendering. What property of polygon determines which side is renderable?

• level of details
• face centers
• vertex normal direction
• face normal direction

Reference

Q21. Which tool is designed to enable an artist to manually retopologize a mesh?

• Quad Draw
• Append to Polygon
• Create Polygon
• Sculpt

Reference

Q22. What is the standard method to preserve links to dependent files such as bitmap textures?

• Save dependent files to the same project as the scene files
• Save all files to the system drive
• Save scene files in ASCII format
• Save all files to a network drive

Reference

Q23. For most light types, the source of illumination is the light’s position. For which type of light is position ignored, and only the rotation of the light determines the illuminations?

• point
• area
• directional
• spot

Reference
