Maya12-A Exam Questions To Pass Maya 2012 Certified Associate Examination

1. When choosing an NISC Video Image preset, in addition to image width and height, which other setting is changed

Pixel Aspect Ratio

Renderable Camera

File format becomes TGA

Device Aspect Ratio

2. Which attribute is used to control the number of specular highlights that appear on a rendered object?

Emit Specular

Define Specular

Illuminates by Default

None of the above.

3. Which of the following BEST describes the Blend Shape deformer?

The Blend Shape deformer…

creates a joint system based on the topology of the surface

Blend shape deformers let you change the shape of one object into the shapes of other objects.

is a special object you use to control the deformation effects of rigid skinning.

lets you manually sculpt NURBS, polygons, or Subdivision surfaces quickly with the stroke of a brush

4. Which statement is most accurate? DmapAutofocus…

adjusts the size of the square grid of pixels that’s placed in front of the light for the first pass Raytrace Shadow calculation

is the attribute that controls the focal point used in depth of field calculation

controls the shadow anti-aliasing level used for the Raytrace Shadow calculation

is the attribute that automatically controls where the Dmap will be focused.

5. What is the purpose of clipping planes in cameras?

Special effects attributes such as ‘Barn Doors’ for the rendering camera

Clipping planes are essentially the boundaries of the camera determining which objects will be rendered and which won’t be rendered.

They define the point at which the shutter closes within the frame interval.

They determine the Depth of Field focal point.

6. To control a Soft Body simula-tion that is out of hand, you can…

use Springs to control the simulation if it gets erratic

use a Pin Constraint to ‘pin down’ the particles that act erratically during the simulation

use an nDynamics solver to control the simulation

use rigid bodies and converts them to soft bodies.

7. A suitable method to have the spaceship move along the green line shown in the image is:

Animated Sweep

Motion Path

Turntable

Animation Snapshot

8. How is a Soft Body different from a Rigid Body?

Afield can’t be connected to Soft Body particles.

Rigid Bodies can’t be affected by a Dynamic constraint.

A Soft Body can be keyframed using the Set Active Key command.

Rigid Bodies don’t deform.

9. What does the Search and Replace Names option help you rename?

One object at a time,

Multiple objects at a time.

Multiple objects and hierarchies

Objects and Attribute names

10. "Swimming" is a potential problem with Projected textures. This is an effect where it looks like the animated object is moving or ‘swimming’ through the texture.

What can be done to fix this? Select all that apply.

If the object is just transforming and not deforming, parent the 3D Placement node to the animated object

If the object is deforming, you can use a Texture Reference object or convert the file to a 2D texture

If the object is deforming, you can bake the deformation by using Edit > Keys > Bake Simulation
