Basics Flashcards
What are the two general steps in the 3D modeling process?
- ) Modeling
2. ) Rendering
what two possible extra steps are required for animation?
Rigging- surface contortion during animation
Posing- Form contortion during animation
What is sculpting?
contortion of a base object
What is texture painting?
The option to paint in an unwrapped 2D texture
What is the idea of physical modeling?
manipulation of an object based on real-world phenomenon
What is mocap(motion capture)?
mimicry of real-world physics
What math is the most closely related to 3D modeling?
Analytical geometry
What three operations are linear transformations?
rotation, translation, scaling
What is special about the linear transformation, projections?
It is non-invertible
What is the orthographic view?
Where the edges align with the primary axis
What key toggles between orthographic views?
NUM5
What are the hot keys for the individual orthographic views
NUM7: (+)z-axis
CTRL-NUM7: (-)z-axis
NUM1: (-)y-axis
CTRL-NUM1: (+)y-axis
NUM3: (+)x-axis
CTRL-NUM3: (-)x-axis
What NUM key numbers correspond to x,y,z
1,3,7
(-y),x,z
What does perspective view in blender show?
foreshortening
Which perspectives are allowed in blender

In the properties window, what does the camera icon represent?
The render context option
In the properties window, what does the stacked photos icon represent?
The render layers option
What is the difference between rendered and rendered layers options?
The layers option allows the layers to be edited separately
What does the scene icon (objects picture) contain?
Background, camera and color settings
What does the world icon (earth picture) contain?
Information about the lighting and setting
What icon represents the “object properties” window?
The cube in the properties panel
What icon represents the constraints icon and what does that mean?
The constraints icon is the linked chain
What icon does the “object modifier” represent and what does this option deal with?
picture of a wrench, which deals with modification of geometry
What icon represents the material context?
The colored sphere
