  1. FBX

  2. OBJ

  3. DAE

  4. JPG
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

JPG is not a common file format used for character animation. JPG is a raster graphics file format used for storing images.

Multiple choice

What was the primary display technology used in early arcade games and home consoles?

  1. Vector Graphics

  2. Raster Graphics

  3. Ray Tracing

  4. Voxel Graphics
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Raster graphics, which represent images as a grid of individual pixels, were the dominant display technology in early arcade games and home consoles due to their simplicity and affordability.

Multiple choice

What is the process of converting 3D models into 2D images for display on a screen called?

  1. Rasterization

  2. Ray Tracing

  3. Tessellation

  4. LOD (Level of Detail)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Rasterization is the process of converting 3D models into 2D images by breaking them down into individual pixels, allowing them to be displayed on a screen.

Multiple choice

Which rendering technique simulates the physical behavior of light to create realistic images?

  1. Rasterization

  2. Ray Tracing

  3. Voxel Graphics

  4. LOD (Level of Detail)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ray tracing is a rendering technique that simulates the physical behavior of light to create realistic images by tracing the path of individual rays of light as they interact with objects in a scene.

Multiple choice

What is the term used to describe the level of detail in a 3D model or scene?

  1. Rasterization

  2. Ray Tracing

  3. Tessellation

  4. LOD (Level of Detail)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

LOD (Level of Detail) refers to the level of detail in a 3D model or scene, which is often adjusted dynamically to optimize performance and visual quality.

Multiple choice

  1. Texturing

  2. Shading

  3. Bump Mapping

  4. Normal Mapping
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Texturing is the process of adding realistic details and textures to 3D models to enhance their visual appearance and make them more lifelike.

Multiple choice

Which rendering technique uses a grid of voxels (3D pixels) to represent objects and scenes?

  1. Rasterization

  2. Ray Tracing

  3. Voxel Graphics

  4. LOD (Level of Detail)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Voxel graphics, also known as volumetric graphics, use a grid of voxels (3D pixels) to represent objects and scenes, allowing for more intricate and detailed representations.

Multiple choice

What is the term used to describe the technique of dynamically adjusting the level of detail in a 3D scene based on the viewer's distance?

  1. Rasterization

  2. Ray Tracing

  3. Tessellation

  4. LOD (Level of Detail)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

LOD (Level of Detail) is a technique used to dynamically adjust the level of detail in a 3D scene based on the viewer's distance, optimizing performance and visual quality.

Multiple choice
