May 1st 2023 Quiz on Maya's rigging and modeling

What is rigging in Autodesk Maya?

• The process of creating 3D models from scratch

• The process of animating 3D models

• The process of adding bones and controls to 3D models for animation

• The process of adding textures and materials to 3D models

Which tool in Maya allows you to add bones to a 3D model for rigging?

• 3D Paint Tool

• Lift a Surface Sculpting Tool

• Extrude Tool

• Insert Joint Tool

What is a joint chain in Maya?

• A collection of joints/bones used for rigging

• A type of camera in Maya

• A type of light used in Maya

• A type of material used in Maya

What is a control in Maya rigging?

• A 3D object or curve used to move or manipulate a rig

• A collection of bones used for rigging

• A type of texture used in Maya

• A 3D object or curve used to move or manipulate a light

Which of the following is not a type of control in Maya rigging?

• FK (Forward Kinematics)

• IK (Inverse Kinematics)

• IK Spline

• Point control

What is skinning in Maya rigging?

• The process of adding bones to a 3D model for rigging

• The process of animating a rigged 3D model

• The process of adding materials to a 3D model

• The process of defining how a rigged 3D model's surface deforms when moved

What is a spline IK in Autodesk Maya rigging?

• A type of control used to manipulate a rig's limbs

• A type of joint used to rig a spine/tail

• A type of constraint used to control the movement of a rig

• A type of material used to texture a rigged 3D model's surface

What is the purpose of the "bind" command in Maya rigging?

• To bind the skin of a 3D model to its rig

• To create a new joint in a rig

• To delete a control in a rig

• To add a new material to a rigged 3D model

What is the purpose of the IK handle in Maya rigging?

• To control the movement of a rig's skin

• To control the overall movement of a rig

• To add deformations to a rig's surface

• To add materials to a rigged 3D model

What is the difference between FK and IK controls in Maya rigging?

• FK controls move a limb from the end joint while IK controls move a limb from the base joint

• FK controls move a limb from the base joint while IK controls move a limb from the end joint

• FK controls add deformations to a rigged 3D model while IK controls control the overall movement of a rig

• FK controls are used for facial expressions while IK controls are used for body movement
