3D Animation Class

Which Coordinate System is used by 3D software to locate objects in 3D space?

• Relativistic coordinate system

• Polar coordinate system

• Homogeneous coordinate system

• Cartesian coordinate system

In 3D space a third axis is added called the __________________?

• X-axis

• W-axis

• Z-axis

• Y-axis

Transformations (transforms) are essentially just changes in  ______________, ________________, or _____________ of an object.

• location, orientation, or size

• size, weight, or color

• location, scale, or weight

• location, orientation, or color

Three vertices connected in a triangular formation; also called “polys”; smallest 3D mesh object.

• Face

• Vertex

• edge

• node

_____________________ view mimics the human eye; gives the best representation of final product; and has a virtual vanishing point.

• Wireframe

• Perspective

• Axonometric

• Orthographic

All 3D objects are a collection of 3 fundamental subgeometry components or subobjects which are: 

• Materials, Textures, Primitives

• Vertex, Edges, Faces

• Vertex, Edges, Materials

• Primitives, Shapes, Ngons

__________________________ are the placement or arrangement of visual elements in a work of art. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements according to the principles of art. 

• Composition techniques

• Simplification

• The Rule of Thirds

• Perspective Composition

____________________  divides a canvas evenly, both horizontally and vertically. It is intended to help with placement of the focusing point of the composition.

• Simplification

• The Rule of Odds

• Perspective Composition

• The Rule of Thirds

__________________________  states that when displaying objects, there is always one in the middle that is framed by the surrounding objects. It states that images are more appealing when there are objects surrounding the focal point. 

• Simplification

• The Rule of Thirds

• Perspective Composition

• The Rule of Odds

________________________ is a technique that reduces the clutter of a design. In this technique, you can change the framing, viewpoint, to bring out the necessary elements of the design or lessen the impact of unrelated objects.

• The Rule of Odds

• The Rule of Thirds

• Perspective Composition

• Simplification
